Rice, a staple part to any meal on my mother\u2019s side.
\nMyself, my mama, and my mama\u2019s mama
\nKnow that for the perfect rice
\nIt\u2019s all about washing three or four times
\nAnd filling the water to the first line of your pinky finger.
\nBut for days when the tummy isn\u2019t feeling so well.<\/p>\n
We add a little more water,
\nAnd let it cook for longer,<\/p>\n
To make a comforting and soothing rice porridge
\nThat settles the tummy and makes you feel good on the inside.<\/p>\n
Like the rice porridge,
\nAdding a little more water in my life,
\nAnd sitting with myself for just a little bit longer,
\nGiving myself care and focusing on me,
\nCan also make me feel better on the inside.
\nAlthough life may be at that perfect point,
\nWhere the water is filled to the first line on the pinky finger
\nThere\u2019s worth in adding a little more love and time
\nTo make my body and mind feel better
\nOn days when I\u2019m feeling under the weather.
\nWhether it be for a tummy ache or for self care,
\nIt\u2019s important to put a little bit more time and energy
\nInto transforming your life into something more
\nThan that regular, everyday rice that you\u2019re used to.<\/p>\n
The rice porridge,
\nWith its higher water content,
\nAnd longer simmer time,
\nEmbodies putting extra care into yourself,
\nAnd leveling up how you treat yourself,
\nMaking everything feel more warm and comfortable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
