"Eating for Peace - the Art and Science of Mindful Consumption" {By Thich Nhat Hanh}

[kava]

All things need food to be alive and to grow, including our love or our hate. Love is a living thing, hate is a living thing. If you do not nourish your love, it will die. If you cut the source of nutriment for your violence, your violence will also die. That is why the path shown by the Buddha is the path of mindful consumption

I like this idea. I need to be more 'mindful' of things that I do and think every day. Thank you so much for posting this.
