Behind Butter

There's a lot to making butter. Well, not really, it's actually pretty simple. I guess what I mean is: there's a lot behind making butter. Yes, that's it. There's a lot behind making butter. Better butter, at that. There's a great deal behind making better butter. Sometimes, a pebble is really a stone. Sometimes, a stone is really a boulder. And sometimes, a boulder is really a mountain.

Sometimes, when I'm feeling like I have too much on my mind, I make the simplest butters. Plain, salted butter. Even, unsalted butter. But there is so much behind those simple butters! So much excitement or fear or pain or doubt. I make those simple butters because they are always enjoyable.

They're hard to mess up, even if I'm messed up!
