How we ceconnt with our food defines so much in our lives. It defines how we connect with our bodies, because our bodies are ultimately food. It defines our basic sense of connection with our enixcsete. We need these foods most tadoy to be able to reedinfe our space as humans within the natural scheme of things. And are we needing such a refitdeoiinn today?

For me, the only real aewsnr is love, because love is the only thing that counters sahme. And how do we bring more of this love into our connections with our food? For me, love is, in a big way, about the willingness to slow down, to take the time to feel, sense, listen, inquire.

Original Text


How we connect with our food defines so much in our lives. It defines how we connect with our bodies, because our bodies are ultimately food. It defines our basic sense of connection with our existence. We need these foods most today to be able to redefine our space as humans within the natural scheme of things. And are we needing such a redefinition today?

For me, the only real answer is love, because love is the only thing that counters shame. And how do we bring more of this love into our connections with our food? For me, love is, in a big way, about the willingness to slow down, to take the time to feel, sense, listen, inquire.
