| Savour the flavour of another |
I have a friend that elegantly sniffs before she tastes a drink or bite of food. She assesses with her senses. I have another friend that purrs when she eats: there is great appreciate in her approach. Yet another friend delicately parts the foam of her cappuccino, making space for brown sugar granules to enter and blend with the deliciousness of the hot beverage. It brings me great pleasure to watch and listen to my friends as their senses are stimulated and delighted. These friends make sharing a meal and or drink an experience, something to savour. Lets just say that I am not nearly as entertaining: I am a bit of a hoover and while they are still sipping away, my frothy drink has disappeared…
Just an excuse
I have done some thinking about this and here is what I have come up with dear reader. While I too, enjoy eating and drinking, I have figured out it is just an excuse to meet a friend, or two, so that I can be in their company. I almost want to get the consumption part out of the way so that I can just, be with! While they savour the flavour, I am indulging in intimacy. While they sniff, taste and try, I am watching and wondering and wanting to ask, what do you think, how do you feel, what is going on inside of your head, your heart, your being… tell me, tell me everything! I want to know!
Designed to be different
I am not like everyone else. Before you point a finger at me and accuse me of condescending arrogance, I will point out to you, that you are not like everyone else either! You can wish you were, and make the mistake of believing that somehow others have more of the good stuff going on for them than you do or you can be relieved in the knowing that you are unique, with your own natural inclinations and tendencies; that you were designed to be different.
Melting into the fluidity of another
When I observe others, I am feeling who they are, sensing what is in their soul. It is fine dining, dear one, to feast on the essence of another. There is the soaking in the sight, testing for temperament, tasting the mood, tapping into the vibrational rhythm, and melting into the fluidity of another. My senses come alive when I am in intimate relationship and with or without touch, the soul brushing is extraordinary.
Do you feel who people are dear reader? Do you take the time to savour the people in your life? Each meal, each beverage, is a gift. We are blessed with bodily nourishment. But people dear one, it is the people in our lives that deserve savouring. Do not take any one of the people in your blessed life for granted. They may be here today, gone tomorrow, bubbles in a frothy life, popped and no more.
Savour the flavour of soulful intimacy today. People are, delicious.
