We are trusted to spread the spirit of love. Tenderness in judgment, the habit of thinking the best of one another, unwillingness to believe evil, grief if we are forced to do so, eagerness to believe good, joy over one recovered from any slip or fall, unselfish gladness in another’s joys, sorrow in another’s sorrow, readiness to do anything to help another entirely irrespective of self – all this and much more is included in that wonderful word love. If love weakens among us, if it ever becomes possible to tolerate the least shadow of an unloving thought, our Fellowship will begin to perish. Unlove is deadly. It is a cancer. It may kill slowly but it always kills in the end. Let us fear it, fear to give room to it as we should fear to nurse a cobra. It is deadlier than any cobra. And just as one minute drop of the almost invisible cobra venom spreads swiftly all over the body of one into whom it has been injected, so one drop of the gall of unlove in my heart or yours, however unseen, has a terrible power of spreading all through our Family, for we are one body – we are parts of one another. If one member suffers loss, all suffer loss. Not one of us liveth to herself.

INGREDIENTS

6	oz	Feta cheese, crumbled
4	oz	Creamed cheese
1		Egg, beaten
2	tb	Chopped fresh parsley
1	tb	Chopped fresh dill, or 1 tsp dried
8		Sheets packaged phyllo dough
1/2	c	Butter

INSTRUCTIONS

Throughout the Middle East, bureks are made by folding buttered,
cheese-filled phyllo dough into little triangular shapes. Cigarro bureks
taste the same but, as the name implies, are rolled into cylindrical shapes
resembling small cigars.  Bureks, frozen unbaked, can go directly from the
freezer into a preheated 375 F oven to make an instant hors d'oeuvre.
Makes 40
Defrost the phyllo dough and return the remainder to the freezer. Butter a
cookie sheet.  Melt the butter and remove from the heat.
Preheat the oven to 375F.
Mix the feta and cream cheese with the egg and herbs and set aside.
Layout one sheet of phyllo dough on a counter.  (Keep the remaining dough
covered with a slightly damp towel to prevent its drying out.) Brush the
sheet of dough with some melted butter. Cut it the short way into 5 strips,
about 3x10 inches each.  Place 1 1/2 teaspoons of the filling at one end of
each strip.  Roll the strips into cylinders about 1/2 inch in diameter.
Continue until all of the dough has been cut, filled, and rolled.
Arrange 2 to 3 cylinder per person on the cookie sheet and brush them with
more butter.  (Freeze the rest of the cylinders, unbaked, for use at
another time.) Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cylinders are well
browned and very flaky.
