Butter is and Butter does...

I was thinking a lot about butter. When was the last time you saw a commercial for real butter? I did a search and it brought up Crisco, Move Over Butter, I can't Believe it's not Butter and so on. Butter is perfect as it is, it truly makes everything better. It melts, but it also softens, it spreads, it clarifies, it's delicious and its chemical induced substitutes do not outweigh butters 'vicious' fat content with health features.

So more, really what more? It brought me to a ponderous state of wonder. About how so many things in life need no explanation, but somehow with the aid of Aphrodite, Ares, Zeus, Hera and Poseidon we were brought down this path of exploitation. Albeit their intentions were at once pure, now everything needs advertisement and everything costs more as a result, yet is the end worth more valuable? I fear Hades would beg to differ. Hades, God of the Underworld, ruler of that 'un-planet' Pluto. He hovers below the ground with the treasures of the Earth and the unwanted garbage and souls that were cast aside by Aphrodites figurative hands. Hades would take it all down to this butter level with the quality in tact.

All this to say, I decided yesterday to strip it down. In this 'odd' numbered 7 year, I strive to be like butter. To rid the self of the sell. Allow worth to speak for itself with the knowledge that in perfected state our innate humanness will do all things butter like, melt, soften, spread and clarify. All the while maintaining the ability to make everything better.
