If you’re going to eat, eat.
Appreciate your food. Don’t rush. Be thankful for where it came from, and how it arrived on your plate.
Taste it. Slowly. Don’t rush. Enjoy the intensity of it’s flavor. Feel it begin nourish your body as you chew it, smell it. Follow it as is travels, magically, down into you, and becomes a part of you.
Enjoy the company of those who sit with you as you eat, as you partake in this actual miracle.
Actual miracle. No hyperbole here.
