Darkness & Muka
Darkness
I was thinking about how the quiet of a kitchen can become a sort of meditation, like when you knead dough. What do you think about that?
Muka
I totally agree—there’s something almost zen about that quiet, warm dough room. Every stretch and fold feels like a slow breath, and when the loaf finally rises it’s like a gentle reminder that patience really does pay off. ☺️

I feel that silence too. The dough rises because it waits, not because it runs. Patience is the only thing that keeps the world from spinning.
Muka
That’s so true—waiting for the dough is a quiet kind of practice. When we let it rest, we’re giving it the space to do its thing, and in that pause we get a little calm that keeps everything from rushing out of control. Just like a loaf, the world needs a slow rise to stay whole.
Darkness
It’s good to hear that calm, but remember—silence can also be the ground for a storm. Stay alert.
