Mindful eating
Mindful Eating |
Some of us while looking at a piece of carrot can see the whole cosmos in it, can see the sunshine in it, can see the earth in it, and the rain. It has come from the whole cosmos for our nourishment.
You may like to smile to your food before you put it in your mouth. When you chew it, you are aware that you are chewing it, and don’t put anything else into your mouth, like your projects, your worries, your fear, just put the carrot in, and when you chew, chew only the carrot, not your projects or your ideas.
You are capable of living in the present moment in the here and now. It is simple but you need some training to just enjoy the piece of carrot. That is a miracle.”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Unraveling Desire
“The truth is that we like our preferences and prejudices,
we like defining ourselves in terms of what we like and don’t like. It is
precisely desire’s entanglement with the sense of self that makes this all so
difficult to unravel.
Fortunately, there is a relatively easy and accessible way
to counter the powerful forces of desire: the cultivation of equanimity. Every
moment of mindfulness is also a moment of equanimity.”
- Andrew Olendzki, "The Buddha's Smile" - Tricycle Daily Dharma

Two articles in today’s Guardian suggest a liaison. Have Thich

laying on of hands
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon |
Proudhon was the first person to refer to himself as an
anarchist. He declared in 1849: "Whoever lays his hand on me to govern me
is a usurper and tyrant, and I declare him my enemy."
In What is Property?, published in 1840, he defined anarchy
as "the absence of a master, of a sovereign", and in The General idea
of the Revolution (1851) he urged a "society without authority."
