Just like making love.

Eating should be like making love. Done ever-so-slowly. To make it last. I see many, many fast-eaters. And makes me wonder if they do everything fast. Even making love. That would be a sad state of affairs. I tell people who eat fast to slow down. I have eaten slower than ever since my arrival in Sardinia almost a month ago. In fact, my whole pace of living has slowed. Any why not? I am enjoying every minute of it. I'd like it to last forever. I find that people under stress eat fast. And often. And far too much. They seem to be ravenous. They can't get enough food. I suggest that they slow down. To take time to savor food. And to savor life. That would be a lot less stressful. I try to make a ritual of eating. To make it a holy and spiritual experience. Just like making love. --Jim Broede
