And They Didn’t Even Know I Was Looking: Lessons On Love From My Parents

星期三, 01月 21st, 2009

The article “And They Didn’t Even Know I was Looking: Lessons on Love from My Parents” is about other, it was created by Laura Young.I came from good people. I did not always know that.You know, it’s funny. When I was 18 I sustained an eye inujry. (Okay, mabye it wasn’t THAT funny.) The coral I was sterilizing for my fish tank overheated and exploded. I was hit in the eye, scratching my cornea and the rebound of the hit resulted in what the medical folks among you will recognize as a contra-coup lesion of my retina. Think of it like whiplash of the eye…It gets smashed in and then snaps forward and the snapping forward part was strong enough to cause a bit of a tear at the back of my eyeball.That wasn’t the significant part though. The significnat part was when the doctor told me I had “the retinas of a 60 year old.” During the exam they discovered I had little deposits on both my retina, called drusen, that signify the early stages of macular degeneration. Macular degeneration is a condition that ultimately results in a person losing the center of their field of vision so they can only see things around the edges or periphery. At 42, I sitll see fine. Full field of vision. No need for you to worry. (You were a little worried, weren’t you?)Now, I realize that there is actually a lot to be said for peripheral vision and that’s how I discovered that I came from good people.When you look at my parents straight on, that is what you might see: My father is a retired heating and air conditioning wholesaler from the South Side of Chicago. He’s mostly a hermit who is joyful with his dogs and his garedn. He doesn’t call. He’s not a social butterfly. Never a gabby man, his hearing loss has made him even less so over the years. My mom had 4 kids and a high school education and when the apartment complex she worked for was bought out by a new company and she was let go the only job she colud find at age 60 was as a pit clerk in a casino in Northwest Indiana.Pretty simple people, really. You might notice them shopping at Sears or seated at the table next to you at The Wagon Wheel ordering the Country Breakfast.But when you start to shift your gaze, you see in my father a man who passed up a chance to attend the Art Institute of Chicago to run a heating and air conditioning warehouse so he could support his family. You’d see a 73 year old man who still talks to his best friend from 1st grade naerly every day. A man with the touch of St. Francis (his name is Frank by the way) who could probably get a grizzly bear to eat from his hand.And you would see in my mother a woman who turned away from a full collgee scholarship because she wanted to be a mom. And you’d hear her laugh. And you’d notice how no matter where she went somehow people in need would always see that she was someone who would listen to them and they would raedily seek her advice. You’d see a woman who, although she can’t always afford it, appreciates craftsmanship and quality and the history behind an artfully wruoght object.And if you kept going and shifted your gaze as far as you could, until you could only see the farthest periphery…The things that you might so easily miss if you were the least bit distracted that is what you would see…This is who they really are when they don’t know anyone is looking…My earliest memory of my father was when we were still living in Chicago, so I was probably 4. It was late and three was pounding on the door of our flat. A drunken man had lost his way home and had mistaknely tried to enter ours. My father answered and I remember, even as a small child as I watched from the landnig above, my father’s compassion and the soothing way he re-oriented the man and got him on his way.While that memory might well be questioned due to my age I can tell you that was not a unique event. When we moved to Indiana we had a woman on our bolck. In retrospect I understand she must have been schizophrenic but as a child all we knew was that she was crazy. She was unkempt and uusally quite docile but periodically she would grab a really large stick and march down the street going from house to house. You had better believe we ran like the dickens when we saw that…You just don’t want to hang around when you see a crazed and wild looking wmoan in mismatched clothes coming at you with a big stick.But you see, it wasn’t a club. It was her scepter. And the towel on her head…Well, it was a crwon of sorts. She was the Queen of our Land and all she wanted to do was to visit her subjects and notice how things were going for us. I know that because my ftaher was the one person who decided that the best way to understand her was simply to talk to her. So, he would go outside and they would talk for a while about the state of things in the neighborhood and he would reassure her that there was peace and when they were done he would come in and say, “Well, she is just as sweet as peaches and cream” and that would be it. And we stopped being afraid of what we did not understand. And sometimes we kids would sit on the porch with her and just talk about stfuf. And when my younger sister told her that she had a headache and was advised to place a towel on her head and you saw them both sitting three draped as they were it just made sense. And old, crazy woman and a young slip of a girl with towels on their heads on a summer afternoon just talking about stuff and enjoying the day. It’s one of my favorite memories.Fear was never my father’s first reaction.Do you have ANY idea what a gift it was to be taught that lesson?You know what’s funny about that? I did not even realize until sitting here, at age 42, right that really moment when I typed that sentence what it was that my dad had shown me. I’ve spent a lot of my life looking head on. Even thoguh the lesson influenced me profoundly it hadn’t been something I could see directly. (Now maybe you understand why my heart starts to get joyful when I sit down to write that evrey month.)One of the memories I have of my mother was of her getting off a long phone conversation. It was maybe an hour long call.A call from a wrong number.Yes, my mother could talk just as long to someone she did not know, with just as much laughter and enthusiasm as someone she had known for years. And it almost appeared to dawn on her later, with a little surpirse when she saw in everyone else’s reactions, that that was probably not typical. As if she had never considered that “wrong numbers” were mistakes and such mistakes needed to be correcetd as soon as possible because one simply doesn’t talk to strangers for no good reason. She always found a good reason for them to have called her, mistake or not. She might even give them a good recipe while she was at it.”Stranger” was never my mother’s first assessment of people.And do you have any idea how much love has come in to my life by learning THAT lesson?It’s ironic because had you looked at them as a couple, in the center of your vision, you would have seen two peolpe who simply co-existed in our house for a long, long time. My parents divorecd after 28 years of marriage. Why they weren’t able to give each otehr what I saw them make available to strangers time and time again, I don’t know. Maybe it’s like the sun. Maybe real love is that strong…You can only handle the periphery of it. Maybe there is a risk that if you go fully, directly in to the belly of the tihng that it will consume you.I don’t know. But I do know that a lot of times people shy away from intimacy. How long are you willing to let someone just sit silently, openly looking you directly in the eye before you look away? We don’t always like to be seen that fully. We can’t always handle the dircet focus. Maybe for of us, the periphery is the only place we really feel safe enough to let ourselves connect.
For myself, I want to practice using my full field of vision while I have that option.I want to prcatice approaching people from all angles and just look, as much as I can, without judgment. Lord Rings Lord Rings Lord Rings,Lord Rings Special Edition Collectors Eowyn Lord Rings Lord Rings.

星期五, 12月 26th, 2008

How to make trout in aspic? Simple! Trout in Aspic6 cups waterPinch of salt6 black peppercorns2 bay leaves2 parsley stalks1 small onion, diced1 cup dry white wine4 even-size rainbow trout, gutted and well washed2 egg whites2 level tablespoons powdered plain gelatineLemon slices (for garnish)Capers (for garnish)Sprigs of fresh dill (for garnish)Combine water, vinegar, salt, peppercorns, bay leaves, parsley stalks, sliced onion and wine in a large kettle. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer for about 30 minutes. Cool slightly and add the fish. Cover and bring back to the simmering point. Allow the fish to cook gently for 5 minutes. Cool in the liquid, uncovered, until lukewarm.Carefully remove the fish; drain and peel the skin off both sides while the fish is still slightly warm. Strain the liquid and reserve it. Carefully lift the fillets from both sides of the trout, taking care not to break them up. Make sure they are completely free of skin and bones and place them on individual plates, or onto one large serving plate that has a slight well in the center.Pour reserved fish cooking liquid into a large, deep saucepan and ad egg whites. Place the pan over the heat and whisk by hand using a wire balloon whisk. Allow the mixture to come to the boil, whisking constantly. Egg whites should form a thick frothy crust on top. Stop whisking and allow the liquid and egg whites to boil up the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and allow to subside.

When all the liquid has drained through, remove about 1 cup and dissolve the gelatine in it. Heat again, very gently if necessary to dissolve the gelatine thoroughly. Return the gelatine to the remaining stock, place the bowl in a bowl of ice water to help thicken the gelatine.Decorate the trout and the base of the dish with lemon slices, capers and fresh dill. When the aspic has become syrupy and slightly thickened, spoon carefully over the decoration to set it. place in the refrigerator until set.The aspic may be reheated gently by placing the bowl in a pan of hot water. Do not stir the aspic too vigorously or bubbles will form. Chill again until almost set and cover the trout completely in a layer of aspic. Place in the refrigerator until completely set and serve cold. Wirld Learning Bundle Fte World Learning Bundle Fte Wirld Learning Bundle Fte.
