Norma R.'s luscious lunch
Sometimes it is our friends who show us the beauty right in front of us.  Yesterday at a friend's home I was offered this delicious lunch that I've posted an image of here today.  It was so beautiful I asked the "artist" Norma if I could photograph it.  The colours of the food were reinforced by the complementary colours of the plate.  And yes, this lunch tasted even better than it looked.  It was so delicious because it was cooked with love.  The placement of the orange sweet potatoes on the opposite side of the dish from the mottled orange border of the plate only highlighted the symmetry of Norma's composition.

Yes, sometimes we create art in a stunning plate of food.  When we eat, we first eat with our eyes.  If the food looks beautiful it tastes even better once it enters our mouth.

Take a bit of time today to see the beauty around you.  If you hurry too much, you might miss it entirely.

namaste.
