infusion: soaking plant material in any menstrum (liquid - solvent - substance that dissolves another).
kept it simple. a simple. one herb infusion. peppermint. 1:32, 1 part to 32. 1 oz herbs looks massive compare to 1 oz water.
dropped close to an o z of dried mint flakes in the mason jar. poured scorching water, put a spoon in there to absorb the heat for a little bit, smelled it a little bit, like i was sniffing roses.
took out the spoon and screwed the lid and prayed on it by way of the music of eid-ul-fitr dikr: allahuakbar, allahuakbar, allahuakbar, wa ala illah illala...
after dina charya this morning, or perhaps as an addition to it, opened the mason jar, sifted out the flakes using mesh, squeezed them tightly so every drop of medicine would drip, more drip then herbal capsules that use hardly a fraction of the amount of herbs in the infusion, leaving all the work for your body to do - cellular deconstruction, deciphering...
maybe work is not a bad thing. maybe giving our body tasks is good, so that it remains the genius it was born as. the divinity we are gets lost in technology.
sipped on the simple like lemonade, a summertime drink in the summer of Quiet. quietness is the surest sign.
