I have
learned in order to feel the passion in anything; music, the written word,
even life itself….you must slow down and savor it.
What
sensations do you think of when you savor something?
Let's
take a piece of chocolate;
you
pop it into your mouth
and
if you've learned to savor it,
you
let it melt in your mouth.
Your
taste buds are enjoying the flavor
of
the chocolate,
you
can feel the texture of it
adding
to the pleasure of your experience,
making
it last for so much longer.
The
same piece of chocolate
that
you just pop into your mouth,
chew
quickly and swallow before you
even
have time to taste it
has
given you no pleasure at all.
It
is the same with life!
In
order to enjoy it you must
savor
every moment……
