Eating (and Living) with Intention

Going into the cleanse, I thought I'd count the hours until we could eat grains and nuts. Then, like many of you, I was not hungry yesterday and had little trouble sticking to my intentions. This morning I was not at all sure whether or not I'd add grains today.

As it turned out, I fixed a small bowl of brown rice with tomatoes and avocado just a bit ago. The sunshine filling my tiny deck called to me, so I ate out there surrounded by plants and flowers. I savoured each mouthful and chewed much longer than I ordinarily would, absolutely struck by the glory of this simple food.

In stripping away unnecessary (and some positively harmful) food, I found value and true joy in simple, healthy food and can't help wondering if it's possible to do the same thing with more of life. I'm pretty sure it is and pretty sure that more time for yoga and more time shared with all of you--the coolest cleanse kula ever--is the path to it.

Blessings,
jerri
