Climbing the mountaine



People are in trouble. The way we eat needs remediation. I love all of this.

Like the tragedies in life, all illness is the window towards the world of healing that lay outside our perception that the window should be used only to view and judge others who are out on the lawn, so to speak, freely expressing themselves...

Making everything around me that isn't cooking the same as cooking is easy. It lay simply in seeing no difference. If all life is simply a space of time between doing the things that you love and other things that you simply tolerate or cope with, than you are only living half of your life. A chef is never out of the kitchen, they are simply away from the stove. It is important to see your whole life as a big meal. Keep the big meal cooking, keep the balanced flavors flowing, keep your senses and spirit open to what the food is saying to you. Translate this message into healing in your life and others. Make healthy food a condiment to the big meal of your life. See that without a spirit that is full, food carries with it the job of filling both the body and soul. Keep your spirit full with a bright sunny heart, and food can feed both, or whichever that you would care to direct that nutrition to in the moment of consumption. Make the food yours by loving it, and it will love you, in whatever regard you require. Food loves to serve, so by serving it with love, it will serve us immeasurably.

Make the meal with a bright, sunny heart. Give the food with respect for it's own solidarity and power, and with no attributes other than your love added to it. And if someone is to take their meal from you with less that open hands or heart, the only thing to do is to open both of your own even more. Love knows no limits, which is why food will always be beautiful, even when it is eaten simply raw. And for me, as I grow as a cook in this world, that is more and more becoming my perspective as I have come to understand it. Leave food alone, except to translate it's message of love, and adorn it with our own. That, my friends, is a recipe for wellbeing. For all of us...
