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.
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.
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.
Observer. Also, author of the novel “After the Sour Lemon Moon.” I recorded a free audio version at the beginning of the pandemic. You can find it in my Instagram bio, in highlights.
I like this.

DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about the remembering.
DeleteThe breakfast is probably glad to have the rare chance of talking in silence with you.

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