YEAR OF ZEN: SPRING: DAY 08

Q: What daily action can you slow down and practice as a sacred activity?

A: Cooking has become a passion of mine recently. I enjoy the practice, the preparation, and the execution. I like listening to music while I cook and I get annoyed if anything intrudes on my flow. All of this is to say there are elements of the sacred in this act, even if I haven’t framed or thought of it this way. I will work to acknowledge the intentional acts that happen when I cook and will be more mindful of it as a sacred ritual when I perform it.
