A poem on Mindful Eating…
If we are what we eat,
and we long to be Peace & Love,
what do we eat?
How do we eat Peace? How do we eat Love?
We breathe slowly. In and out.
We smell more deeply.
We sit easily. We smile.
We choose food that is close
to the heart of our Mother Earth.
We honor our food.
As none other than life itself.
We give thanks to all the hands.
All the hands that needed to touch our food
to bring it from the soil or the sea
to our plate and hands today.
We slowly savor each bite.
Enjoying the flavor, the color, the sound,
the texture, the trouble, the time,
the travel
with all our senses.
