Reflections

i just came from seeing some good old friends, and got some lovely reflections!!  when asked about how i am feeling, the honest answer is "pretty much the same", though certain THINGS have changed, like the way i experience hunger, some weight loss, more introspection.

the REFLECTION i received was that i seem more connected to myself.  calmer, quieter, deeper.  that sounds good to me...it is how i want to feel and be.

i want to show you my amazing lunch from yesterday:




it was zucchini angel hair "pasta" with marinated mushrooms and raw marinara sauce.  it was so amazingly delicious.

As far as cooked food cravings go, i am realizing that i love the SMELL of cooked food!!  oh, how i love it!!  pizza, bagels, mac and cheese....the other day i wondered:  WHY does cooked food SMELL so good??  my meditation on this question led me to this conclusion:  raw foods contain amazing amounts of nutrition, intact.  when we cook the food, it breaks the bonds of the molecules and releases the nutrients in the form of smell!!  so when we actually EAT the food, it is LACKING the smell that we smelled, which has now dissipated and landed on the ground somewhere.

Raw food TASTES SO RICH.  none of it is lost to the ground.  it finds its home inside of us.

love to all!!

  2. hey vince!!

    this is a good link for raw recipes: http://www.fromsadtoraw.com/RawRecipes.htm

    and there are SO MANY BOOKS with great recipes. right now we are reading gabriel cousens's book called "rainbow green live-food cuisine" that has some amazing recipes and ideas. you can google raw recipes and find tons.

    sarah, my partner, is a food guru and prepares most of the yummy food we eat. left to my own, i tend to eat salads and fruit and feel kind of empty. luckily she prepares pates, desserts...real MEALS!! that is what i want to learn to do. i think she might put a cookbook out one day (or a "uncook" book!!
