This is such a nourishing essay for the mind. A meal is indeed a much needed pause in this world that's racing ahead in break neck speed. I remember my friend's father mentioning at one meal, during our exams, where we were in a rush to finish the food and get back to studying. He said, (not verbatim) "relax, eat well and then get back to studying. Afterall, you're doing that so that you could earn your meal too."
Thank you for reading this, and it feels really nice to know you could relate to the depth of this simple ritual. Eating together is nourishment for the soul too. 😊💕

Totally agree. If you look at it, this is what made us a community. A more evolved being than mere hunters and gatherers.
