Anticipation. Waiting. Excitement. Curiosity. Joy. Fun.
Turning the mere fueling of bodies into spiritual moments of connection.
Beauty. Sharing. Knowing.
Goblets full of beautiful liquid clinking together after spoken heartfelt expressions.
Delightful foods sparking enthusiasm. Enthusiasm replacing hesitancy, making room for Freedom.
Relaxation.
Thoughtful meals carve space for human beings to remember connection, humanity, in a world where time is money, haste makes waste, and the tortoise and the hare.
Enrichment of the soul-variety rarely happens over sloppy, salty, greasy fast-food eaten in front of the television, or in a car on the way to yet another organized children's activity.
Lesson for Today: Slow down. Learn who and what you are. Reclaim beauty and connection. Let eating be communication with loved ones, learning, loving, lasting.
