Composites of life

The aggregate composite of life is to score well in all the individual factors that contribute to our lives.  The two most essential composites are eating and sleeping.  Without them there will be no continual energy to pursue the other composites that necessitate our well being. 

As I stepped out from my past and enter into my future, I realize the importance of food.  Yes, sounds stupid indeed?  We are what we eat.  Eventually we become what we eat.  Our eating habits are such that we eat to satisfy our tongue first and foremost.  Hence we have no discernment between quality and quantity.  Neither do we make distinction between eating and dining.

Our five senses collaborate during the course of our eating. Our eyes and ears alert us that we are going to eat.  The aromatic smell passes through our nose and we open our mouth and the short-lived taste passes our tongue. The process of chewing starts and this is how we eat.

Dining is an experience and  requires a deeper thought and understanding in how and what we choose to eat.  It means giving conscious respect and feeling proud. Why? Because we can only eat that much each time. Hence we must not waste the opportunity to nourish ourselves with quality food and find joy in dining.

If we can do this, we have begun our love journey with ourselves, to love and adore our body with quality and joyful nourishment.
