Vita Poetica Journal publishes creative work with a spiritual inspiration. I am delighted that they chose my poem ”Where We Come From” for inclusion in their summer quarterly.
My poem is part recipe/part prayer/part memoir. It begins with instructions for making paneer, a kind of Indian cottage cheese. When I was in India a few years ago, I added paneer to my cheese-making repertoire. For some time now, I’ve found soft cheese and yogurt making to be very contemplative. The stirring, the steam, the smell of warm milk….
If you are in need of some inner peace these days, you might try making paneer.
