A Love Initiative - Day 67 NO SONG TONIGHT! This is a long one ‘Lizabeth! On Day 63 I said; “Love is just a word!” I also stated that I am not a “Miles” and you are not the name on your driver’s license. Taking it one step further on the metaphysical dial; I am not the physical manifestation of the “one” we call “Miles” nor, if you will allow me the latitude, are you either your name or the physical entity your name represents. Yikes! “Objection! Relevance... what is this crazy man talking about Your Honor?” “Over-ruled! I’ll allow it but reign it in Counselor!” “Yes; Your Honor!” I’m simply saying that we are spiritual beings not physical beings. We are not ashes nor are we dust! The molecules and atoms and electrons, protons, neutrons, quarks, strings and whatever else of the physical mass we observe as Us is not the essence of US. If you are not the thing people recognize as You but simply the spiritual steward of the vessel and guardian of that temple; then, what do you feel is a reasonable, rational, responsible way to treat that temple? Hmmm! Can you guess what this is? INGREDIENTS: SUGAR, CORN SYRUP SOLIDS, DAIRY PRODUCTS SOLIDS, VEGETABLE OIL (PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED COCONUT OR PALM KERNEL AND HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN), COCOA PROCESSED WITH ALKALI, AND LESS THAN 2% OF SALT, CELLULOSE GUM, SODIUM CASEINATE, DIPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, SODIUM ALUMINOSILICATE, MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES, GUAR GUM, ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, SUCRALOSE. CONTAINS: MILK INGREDIENTS. MAY CONTAIN SOY AND WHEAT. (Sodium Aluminosilicate is a personal favorite; second only to Dipotassium Phosphate. LOL!) Here’s a clue: DISTRIBUTED BY: NESTLE PROFESSIONAL, TAMPA, FL 33602 ALL TRADEMARKS ARE OWNED BY SOCIETE DES PRODUCTS NESTLE, S.A. VEVEY, SWITZERLAND. EXACTLY RIGHT! IT’S HOT COCOA MIX!!! Why all caps? I dunno! That’s how it’s printed. I’m sure it has some legal significance like your name on your license and credit cards; or perhaps to make it easier to read in a size 3 font. :-( It’s one of those harmless looking packages of hot chocolate you drink or give your kids to sip on a cold morning! The only problem is; what are all of those ingredients you’d have to be a chemistry professor to understand and are they necessary for a “harmless” little cup of cocoa? When did we give up the kitchen for the laboratory for something so simple and who’s idea was it - FDA? Naaah!!! I’m just saying that if I owned a Ferrari I wouldn’t fill the tank with 87 octane at 7-Eleven... I’d put PREMIUM in my $250,000 car. (BTW... where do you get gas for a Ferrari or Lamborghini or a new Bentley? LOL! I must admit I’ve never had that problem. LMBO! I’ve never even pulled up next to a shiny new Lambo at the local Shell, Hess or Texaco. Now that I’m thinking about it; when we all get our new Maybachs and figure out where to buy gas, will we get Full-Service or Self-Serve? LOL!!!) That’s me at pump #12 in the rain putting $20 into my million dollar, (I bought it used) 1,000 hp Bugatti Veyron. (Falling out of my chair laughing!!!) Okay, I’m back! Here’s the point! We’re worth more than that $1M Bugatti to our loved ones and fibroids, hypertension, diabetes, missing toes and erectile dysfunction are much worse than the proverbial toothache so how well can we love from the hospital bed. All anyone can do is sit beside you and wait away the hours when you should be taking your grand kids to Chuck E. Cheese or Dave & Busters or attending there graduations or weddings. YOU HAVE TO BE HERE! We can love one another to death with our cookouts, tailgating and holiday feasts; and our day to day choices can be even more toxic just for shear frequency. The BBQ, fast foods, hot wings, neighborhood Chinese food, delivery pizzas, frozen dinners, vending machine snacks, soft drinks, sweet teas, gourmet coffees, beer and hard liquor are more likely to kill us than murder, natural disasters, an automobile wreck or plane crash, yet we shovel it in day after day with no fear whatsoever. As soon as the plane is taxiing for take off you start praying and clutching your armrest. You need to pray before you go into Walmart, Publix, Piggly Wiggly, Sam’s Club, Costco, BJ’s or where ever you shop for your chips, cake and cola. If you want a long blissful loving relationship YOU HAVE TO BE HERE FOR IT. IF YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU; WHY WON’T YOU TREAT YOURSELF WITH LOVE, CARE AND CAUTION? WHY WON’T YOU PROTECT YOURSELF FROM CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER? WHY WOULD YOU INGEST HARMFUL CHEMICALS - ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS, FLAVORS AND COLORS - INTO YOUR BODY, TEMPLE, VESSEL DAY AFTER DAY WITHOUT A CARE OR WITH A KNOWING CHUCKLE - “I KNOW I SHOULDN’T BE EATING THIS?” THE SUGAR IS KILLING YOU! THE SALT IS KILLING YOU! BUT LET SOMEONE TRY TO PUT 87 REGULAR IN YOUR BRAND NEW BMW, BENZ, JAG, AUDI, LEXUS, INFINITY, PRIUS OR WHATEVER - YOU’D BE READY TO SUE! INDICT YOURSELF! CHARGE YOURSELF! MAKE A CLAIM TO YOUR OWN HEALTH AND WELLNESS. LIVE RATHER THAN DIE! NO JOKE! I know tomorrow is not promised regardless of our eating habits but why tempt fate? I’m getting sad just writing this because I know some of you WILL NOT LISTEN and WILL NOT CHANGE and WILL NOT BE HERE THIS TIME NEXT YEAR! IT’S SAD!!! I’m not saying it’s easy either. The deck is stacked against us. Our food supply sucks; but fight for your life and the lives of the ones you love. MAKE CHANGES DAMMIT!!! Um jus sayin’... Stick around! We love you! We need your smile, your energy, your humor, your intellect, you living spirit. WE NEED YOU HERE TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE! AMEN! Peace, love and blessings! Chef M loves you All! :-) Mangez bien mes amis! Comer bien mis amigos! (This was the hardest one to write!)
