In a nutshell

Hi everyone​!

Welcome to ‘Lelo-Lelo’ blog, 

created by yours truly, Maayan.

I’m an amateur cook, pastry chef, animator, and an illustrator. 

A few years ago, I discovered that I had Gluten sensitivity and dairy allergy. 

In recent years I embraced a vegan lifestyle.  

Therefore, I decided to create a blog that is all-

Healthy, Vegan & gluten-free recipes.

Bon Appetit!

Welcome

to my green corner,

where thoughts take flight,

Doubts, fears, and struggles shine bright.

Together we’ll fight the climate’s plight and fright,

I’d love it if you’ll join me now; so we’ll make it right!

Climate Change Depression

I’m openly sharing my personal experience of depression caused by climate change. I hope to let those who can relate know they are not alone.

A Poem- A Mother's Cry

While studying at Bezalel, I embarked on a writing course where I unearthed a unique avenue for self-expression and delivering meaningful messages through poetry.

Inspired by my first post, Climate Change Depression.

A quote from the post:

“Something I wished to repress, to forget, but there is nowhere to run, the world beset. Danger lurks in every corner and place. The climate has gone mad, a frantic chase.

Amid fires raging in Israel’s embrace, accusations flew a blame game’s chase. “It’s arson!” echoed in every news space, but hidden truth yearned for its rightful place.

An unspoken plea from “Mother Earth” so dear, whispered in flames, a call we must hear. Beneath the chaos, her voice rang clear:” In harmony with nature, we must adhere”.”

A Mother's Cry/ Maayan@Lelo-Lelo

 

Some say, 

Mother’s love is like no other…

 

However, if we’ll come closer

You’ll learn 

She never wanted

To be a passive smoker

 

But out of care,

She gladly inhaled and absorbed 

All the smoke and toxins in the air 

To protect all her children 

As a fierce mama bear.

 

For them, she fell

Into rivers

tainted black, 

Fighting through

lethal substances

And pesticides

She almost drowned,

Unable to swim back.

 

Unseen wounds inflicted,

Deep and sore,

She never signed up

For this painful chore.

 

But she endured it all,

No questions asked.

Always put herself last.

She selflessly,

As her daily task,

Gave carelessly,

Every bit of her heart. 

 

To all, she always forgave,

The love she freely gave 

Overflowed

In a huge wave.

 

But what have we

Offered in return?

Wars, extinction,

A world that burns.

 

Unbreakable and

Shattered pieces,

The pain increases. 

As she’ll have

To store them forever.

 

However,

Due to a legacy of neglect,

In which everyone

Only takes and devours, 

Suddenly, she is out of power.

 

Her beauty, they wreck and conceal.

She sadly agrees

As they tell her

Not to make it a big deal… 

Her green spaces are erased,

Blinded by their greed, 

Her cries go misplaced.

 

What more does she long for? 

She silently weeps.

To recognize her’s mother rights

In the family’s keep.

A moment of respite,

A bit more sleep?

 

She yearns for serenity,

A tranquil embrace,

Deserving love, 

A chance 

To reclaim her grace. 

 

Said with tears pouring

Down her face,

Until she flooded all the place.

 

For she never asked to be a neglected mother,

Bruised and battered in agony, she hovers.

יצרתי את דומתה של אמאה אדמה, מעצים, אשר מחבקת את כדור הארץ ובוכה מפלים.

 

The truth dawns upon us.

As we become aware,

That she’s the mother of us all, 

A burden that she bears.

 

Let’s cherish her,

Protect her

before it’s too late,

For she is  the embodiment of our

Shared fate.

 

Mother’s love is like no other…

 

In the end, we realize

With rueful mirth,

She’s the heart of our existence,

The giver of birth.

 

She is the one and only mother-

 

Mother earth.
