Zmorgä is Swiss-German word for Breakfast. Literally translates to "Zum Morgen" or "To/For the Morning". Other similar meal terms are: Znüni (Coffee @ 9AM), Zmittag (Lunch), Zvieri (Snack @ 4PM) and Znacht (Dinner).
A weekday Zmorgä is usually very quick and typically taken between 6:30 - 7:30 AM - depending on when one leaves home for work/school. It's on the weekends that the humble weekday Zmorgä takes on a rather elaborate and almost festive look and feel.
So when i see an Ad in the local Church Pamphlet for a Saturday Ladies Zmorgä, i think to myself that this might be a good meet and greet opportunity with the local women of Seelisberg. At 8:55AM, i'm sitting with 11 other women in the Restaurant Träumli.
The women are all curious who this new dark-skinned woman at the table is... A couple i know already, and before we begin, as is the Swiss-tradition, we shake hands with everyone in the group. I try to memorise all the names - (Ursula, Beatrix, Sylvia, Greth, Thesi, Luzia, Monika, Monika Wipfli, Andrea, Nadja and Sonja), hoping there's no quiz at the end of the brunch!

Today on my walk through the quiet forest
i'm drawn to these little creatures that manifest
out of nowhere on the dead organic matter
in a myriad of colors, shapes and textures
Creating rich compost out of our garbage - these converters
are not just Nature's very own recyclers but Upcylers...

it's not just me hiking up to the village to catch some Sun
these goats are also basking in the luscious Morning Sun
6.5 Km and 1.5 hours later, I'm back home to the smell of fresh bread
Thank you Lukas for the simple yet delicious spread
