I wrote this piece over the summer after being inspired by the bounty of New England berries and the beauty of that season there...
It is a beautiful and perfect summer day. The blazing sun shines down upon my body warming me like a mother tightly holding her child. A gentle breeze passes by, tousling my hair and whispering into my ears a lovely song. In front of my eyes is a gnarly patch of berries seducing me with their wild yet grounded demeanor. I give in and fall under their spell. The plump and juicy berries stain my fingers as I zealously pluck them from the comforts of their home. Their tart taste dances upon my lips making me feel alive. My senses are overwhelmed and my soul is filled with joy. Ahhh, the simple pleasures of life.
Food is life. Food is nurturing. Food is peace. Food is joy. Food is love. Food is forgiving. Food is excitement. Food is family. Food is fuel. Food is comfort. Food is enjoyment. Food is soul.
Revive your relationship with food. It is all of the above and more. Remember balance is the key, but indulging once in awhile is ok. Enjoy!
