Mindful eating. I had a plate of eggs, toast, avocado, and a banana this morning. I tried to slowly eat each bite, considering the flavors and textures as well as I was able. Then something hit me, just at the very end:
“This banana… is it spicy?” I thought. “I think it’s a bit spicy? Or is that just a speck of black pepper?”
I will never know the answer, but the experience prompted more questions:
How optimistic is my coffee?
How fuzzy is a bowling ball?
How soft is the sun?
How round is the wind?
How yellow is music from a saxophone?
All that from a hint of spice in my bite of banana.
