i just can’t get enough
anyone who has spent much time with me can attest to the fact that i have preferences which can undoubtedly be transformed into pure passion, should the right mood strike. LOVE and FAVORITE are two words i use often to describe how i am feeling about a particular person, place, or thing, and my emotions, once provoked, are not easily hidden.
i have an appetite. an appetite for life. when i meet a flavor that agrees with my taste buds, my senses become stimulated with an outpouring of delight that permeates every cell of my being until i am overflowing with more pleasure than a human body can possibly contain. so to put it lightly, when i like something, i really like it. the moment magically delivers a certain quality of truth when i am deeply moved by it through an honest word, a signifying song, a pleasing scent, a tender touch or a divulging silence.
when i hear a song that resonates in my bones and speaks, word for word, directly to my heart, i naturally add it to my list of all-time favorite songs. when i read a quote that expresses a personal feeling i am unable to put into words myself, it becomes one of my favorite quotes that must be written down, shared with the world, hung up on my wall, and etched into my heart. a yoga posture that i have previously executed hundreds of times, suddenly is my favorite pose because it is now symbolic to where i am in my life. my current lover is, without a doubt, on every level, the BEST i’ve ever had. i will enjoy the same meal every day for a month (or 5) because it is, hands down, the BEST thing i have ever put into my mouth. the book i am reading, with so many insights into the story of my own experience, is now one of the BEST books ever written. this moment, this very moment, is my favorite because it is happening right now. it is the one from which i can soak up every last drop of ecstasy.
i have decided to incorporate a weekly blog post that includes five of my FAVORITE things every wednesday, starting tomorrow. my collection of favorites is eclectic, ever-changing, and continually growing, just as i am.
