Now imagine inventing the curve of a cherry

Matthew Fox on Sounds True said: "Food is a mystical experience. We have that wonderful poem by Rilke on the beauty and succulence of an orange. A lot of mysticism is about not taking for granted, so to be able to write poems, or just pause before we eat to admire a peach or an orange, or M.C. Richards wrote a line where she said, "Now imagine inventing the curve of a cherry"—to give attention to food in all its beauty, as well as, of course, in its utilitarian-ness and its giving us all of that good energy, but also food is cosmic. All food is quite literally sunlight. All food has a 13.7 billion-year history. It is cosmic. It's a gift of the sun incarnated in this very special form of peach or orange or legumes or something else. That's the via positiva of food: that it's not only healthy for us, but it's delicious and beautiful."

"Imagine inventing yellow or moving

For the first time in a cherry curve"
