I’m so glad you liked this post. Slowing down is something I’m very passionate about, mostly because it is something that I have a very hard time doing. I do love how food can aid in achieving peace and presence as well.

I have not read Dana Velden’s posts, but I will! Just checked some out and I’m intrigued. I try not to limit myself to just vegan reads and I respect anyone who respects their food!

I truly identify with what you are talking about. I’m a bit of a ludite but even I find it hard to be really present – to immerse myself in the moment.

I love how food can stop you and really pull you in – to a taste, to a smell, to something unexpectedly delicious – some wonderful combination that plays so well against the other.

Have you ever read Dana Velden’s posts from the kitchen – she really blends the art/act of being present and the connection with food. She’s not vegan mind you (so be warned – she has a post on butchering) but she comes from a buddhist background so she really grounds herself with the basic love for food, cooking and a hearth.
