What is love? Consideration? Feeling? Action? Meaning? Scientific? Philosophical? Poetic? Kindness? Hope? Maybe the absence of love tells you more about the concept of love than love itself? Maybe grief makes love real? Or maybe it’s baking gingerbread cookies one week before Christmas? I don’t know how I tied that back to baking cookies. Although here I am, sitting alone with my puppies thinking about connection.
If love is a feeling, bake cookies and eat them right out of the oven, eat them cooled, dip them into your coffee or tea, share them, decorate them or savour them. Here is the recipe to make 6 mini gingerbread cookies or 2 medium sized gingerbread men. You can adjust the recipe based on how many cookies you would like to bake of course.
