eating

It is really worth thinking about.

If you ever get really sick you really think about it. and I recall that I vowed that If I ever could eat again, I would. I do.

We get all frantic about gas prices, We all know our cars need gas, but our bodies need food just as badly. I have been confused about the biology of the brain, I know it needs blood or oxygen, but how does it make energy? I guess I'll save that thought for another day, the one about if we transplanted our brain would the body be ours, or like my friend Robert asked Where are we? No really he wondered where "He" was. I got a good message from Hannah in which she clearly summed it up as our bodies are but vessels for our spirit. simple, right? hmmmmmmm... it makes me feel better about loosing physical health if I keep my spirit strong.

Anyway I think the fact that we need food teaches us alot. We like it so we stay alive. Babies are born wit the suck instinct and no one needs to teach them how to nurse. It makes mre wonder how that got started. kind of like how did Adam know to Build an alter? Those are the things that I think about, forget about belly buttons and several other pointless paradoxes. I want to focus on food.

One cool thing about living is the ability to taste. How do we taste? I wish that I knew. I haven't studied that beyond the fact that our olfactory nerve plays an important role in how things taste. but my mom can't smell, plus I've never been able to determine what part of an element/atom gives it the property of smell. Next.

I have been taught that Men have a need of sex so they are also given an extra meaure of desire to even out the consequence and make it worth it to them. So, having a body requires work, isn't that supposed to teach us something? It is a privigilidge not a right, breathing and eating are gifts, trust me on this, you don't want to learn for yourself. If we have a Spirit, too it propably needs nourishment too. It is enjoyable as eatting, and necessary.

it is important to care for our health physically, spiritually, and mentally to achieve ballance. I like the sound of that. I admire ballance alot because of my vestiblar isues. I hate falling down, though I like gravity and am glad that it dosen't depend on me.
