Relaxing, Eating, & Writing














I've been struck by the frequency with which my best writing comes after a relaxing snooze or a beautiful and tasty meal. Finally I've decided to analyze how & why such is the case & to share my findings with you, my loyal friends & fans.

Relaxing: Lounging around frees the mind to hear and see, smell and feel the sounds, sights, and experiential aspects of life too often ignored in our get-ahead-quickly world. From the vantage point of my bed, I explore a world of ideas untapped as I go about my daily round.

Eating: What's finer than a great meal, loving prepared and loving appreciated? A gourmet probably figures as the happiest being in life, savoring the subtle flavors of a fantastic meal, leaning back for sparkling conversation, drinking a superb wine while appreciating its subtle scents and colors. Each meal, a work of art.

Writing: When the body is soothed and the senses stimulated, therein lies the premium state of being for creating a thoughtful, well written (dare I say?) masterpiece.

Friends & fans, I can only recommend you follow my example, for whether you write a chef d'oeuvre or a letter home to your Maman et Papa, relaxing & eating are your pathway to success.

Dear Mercury
I enjoyed from reading of your lovely entry. Indeed, the primitive items, relaxing and eating, play significant roles in the lives of all the humans, but the writing is a intellectual one, which allocated to some thinkers, such as you.
