“Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.”
― Paulo Coelho, Brida
A gourmet tastes sparingly of everything. A gourmand takes life with gusto taking large bites. In what ways are we like gourmets and which ways gourmands. So often when meeting new people and new ideas I find myself rushing in full force, trying to drink it all in at once and immerse myself. Occasionally this has landed me pretty deeply into situations that then took quite awhile to extricate myself. . Should I have been more hesitant in those situations. Creeping in sparingly and getting the lay of the land first. Perhaps, but more often than not, I knew that the unknown depths contained dragons and I accepted the fact, wanting a ride on scaly wings maybe. I was hungry for experience. I still am. Nothing can hook me faster than when I find myself presented with a totally new outlook on life even when I see the dragon’s eyes looking back at me..

Electric Crossroads by G A Rosenberg
Come little thirsty bird chirp and drink from me
I got streams and rivers flowing away for thee
you can bathe or soak and swim
in any melody
But remember, you need to learn good swimming only
use your wings to fly away, if the currents are strong
just dipping your beak for prey and the trot is gone
No one thinks its okay, but it is free
drink away my little bird, the drinks are on me 🙂
Excellent as always
thank you
