Simple Eggnog Bundt Cake

Eggnog Bundt CakeWhen is the time for love to be born?
The inn is full on the planet earth,

And by a comet the sky is torn– 
Yet Love still takes the risk of birth. 
~ Madeleine L’Engle

I live in one of the richest nations on earth.

Yet even here, over 800,000 people (out of a population of only some 36 million) rely on food banks each month.

This is the season when we open our hearts, our wallets, our cupboards… but in January the need will remain and likely increase.

We live in violent times.

I’m not talking about the violence in the unending litany of crimes that are played and replayed constantly by a ratings-mad media in a distorted frenzy that warps our perceptions of the world around us and sucks us dry of hope.

This constant noise distracts us from the greater violence.

The greater violence is to the very core of human dignity:

when people are sacrificed to the altar of profit whereby they can spend their live’s energy working full-time for companies generating massive profits – yet still be unable to put food on their tables;

when the economy is considered to operate according to its own natural laws,  rather than as a function of political and social will;

when we are positioned as consumers first rather than as citizens and valued solely for our economic viability;

and when poverty, hunger and economic slavery are viewed as necessary or as inevitable collateral damage in a misconstrued economy – rather than as gross violations of social justice.

The time for love to be born is now.

(And I realize that a recipe for an Eggnog Bundt Cake is trivial in the grand scheme of things, but community is built around tables, and it is at the tables of communities that we find solutions.)

May you have in your life both the sweetness of cake and those to share it with.
