“After a full belly, all is poetry.”
—Frank McCourt
Pause.
Take a sip or a bite of something you love that’s readily available. Practice mindful eating (or drinking) by sitting in silence, chewing slowly, and noticing how the taste makes you feel.
Prompt.
Set a timer for ten minutes and write about a meal you will never forget. Use as many sensory descriptors as you can.
Practice.
Read this poem.
Go to the supermarket this week and purchase a fruit or vegetable you typically don’t use—I’m thinking starfruit, dragonfruit, or leeks. Do a quick search on how to cook it, or enjoy it fresh.
