Power

A very long time ago, I was very active in various organizations. Hence, I participated in a lot of pot luck dinners. I always took the same thing to them...a marvelous homemade dessert. Invariably, there were always lots of requests for the recipe. I did not honor those requests, instead telling people that if I gave out the recipe it would no longer be special. 

Here I am 20odd years later and I have no idea what that recipe is. I don't even know where it is or even exactly what it was. I must have come across to others as a 'pompous jack' though, I'm sure. 

I don't think there is even one person who remembers my dessert. I did not go down in the world of 'potluckdom' as the person who made the best dessert ever. What I do know is that if I had to do it all again, I'd share the recipe. To have power, we must share power...even if it is only at a pot luck dinner.
