Gratitude

Today I wanted to write a special post in gratitude to the universe. First of all I would like to say I am grateful for my whole life experience, good and "bad" parts. Yet today I would like to focus specifically on my experience with food and raw foods and everything I have learned on this journey towards eating more healthily and freeing myself from emotional eating and binging. And since it hasn't been "perfect" (in the sense that I have gone back and forth a lot between eating well and not-so-well), I feel thankful that I began this journey while still young and healthy enough for my body to endure the food rollercoaster it has been going through.

Where I live

Sometimes,

in a sudden fit of curiosity,

or need to fill

an unexpected pause in conversation,

well-meaning people ask me where I live.

I used to tell them, depending on my mood

and how much I thought

they really wanted to know, any of the following:
Two hours north of Manhattan,

Ulster County,

or the oh so famous Woodstock, New York.

Now,

many years after meeting Maharaji,

and having relocated to my breath,

I simply say:

the State of Gratitude.
