Did it crush you? In one quick second, did the blood rush from your brain to your butt and remind you of where you really were, no longer lost in the luscious bumps of the snow white potatoes but, instead, surrounded by silver tools that the tall people keep telling you to use? Did the joy of playing and creativity go the way of the now dead and no longer interesting food on the plate, to the dog or the trashcan?
As an introvert, sounds can sometimes be overwhelming when our brains are trying to sift through the information, so I can understand adults who are trying to have a conversation being annoyed by baby carrots making motor sounds.
But last week, I also rediscovered something when the girls folded the sushi roll seaweed paper into airplanes before they went into the dark caves of their mouths. Paying attention to your food, feeling joyful while eating, these are good things. These are the vibes that food deserves before it blesses each of our cells.
It is date night tonight. I think I'll play with my food just for the fun of it. Well, that will be in public, though. Maybe I should practice this in private at lunch first.
A special thank you goes out to my husband for giving the girls the wonderful idea of using the seaweed sheets as oragami paper!
