When you put something in your mouth, everything is there: life and death, joy and sorrow, earth and sky.

- Edward Espe Brown

Eat like you love yourself, move like you love yourself, speak like you love yourself, act like you love yourself.

Asian Wisdom:

1. He who eats, exists. He who eats can think, speak, act, love, hate, quarrel, marry, procreate, kill.

2. He who does not eat can do nothing and must, of necessity, disappear.

Be There for Breakfast

When you eat your breakfast, even if it is just a small bite early in the morning, eat in such a way that freedom is possible. While eating breakfast, don't think of the future, of what you are going to do. Your practice is to simply eat breakfast. Your breakfast is there for you; you have to be there for your breakfast. You can chew each morsel of food with joy and freedom.

- Thich Nhat Hanh

on Eating:

A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety.

- Aesop's Fables
