The Thing Itself

Post, 2015

I ate breakfast alone today, without friend or family member. No radio or book, not even pen and paper. Just breakfast and me. It tasted better than usual.

  1. I know this. I forget often - I pull a book or the comic section of the paper toward me - but when I remember, it's lovely.

  2. The breakfast is probably glad to have the rare chance of talking in silence with you.

  3. When concentrating just on the activity you carry out, everything feels much more intense and I'm sure you enjoyed your breakfast in quite a different way.

  4. Sometimes, the quiet times are simply the very best!

  5. i've been doing this almost every day (I always eat alone but just started removing the external stimulation at the same time) and I embrace the moment.

  6. I'm still going back and forth, but I thought of your comment today and ate a peaceful uninterrupted lunch.
