The Meal
There was a time when we are our words and spoke in food. These were strange days when the things we said appeared as cakes and pretzels, sometimes cabbages and fish. We spoke in vegetables and proteins, cheeses and desserts, the flavors depending on our moods. And we dines on nouns and adjectives. We are gentle verbs and angry slang. It took us a long time to find the balance between the emotions in our heads and the things we said and swallowed, but slowly we became more moderate in our thoughts and appetites until one day food appeared on our plates and language returned to our mouths.
Treat your words as nourishment. Remember that when we eat, we bring the world into ourselves and when we speak, we bring ourselves into the world.
