We All Gotta Eat                                                                             Page 2
By Anthony Douglas Gere

Now I may have taken an erratic or eclectic way to describe the world to you today, and
just so you know, we are going to talk about much more than just the world, we will talk
about our world together.  That’s right, me and you baby goin’ one on one and how this
will add up to two, if we are on the same page, looking at the same problem and
hopefully finding, different solutions.  Let us say you find something you have always
been searching and looking for.  Erase that, lets say that you want something to appear
on your menu of life, and you don’t see it on the menu while ordering.  You know what
you want, you may have had it here before and for whatever odd reason, they are not
serving it right now but you want it right now.  You have the means, the resources, the
money, time and more, but somehow, what you are wanting is not available to you right
now.  But you have been waiting for this meal for a long time, and you have even placed
yourself in situations where you made meat out of mush, and pretended it was the
meal you wanted, when you knew all along, it wasn’t..  You have even tried to
manufacture this recipe, but seeing how you were doing it alone and with out the chef to
tell you how much of this or that to place in the bowl, it just didn’t turn out right, and you
are not yet satisfied.  You think you know how to prepare it.  How to cook it, but every
time you try, it just doesn’t taste the same as it does in the restaurant you have
dreamed about.  Now, when you realize this restaurant you are now at doesn’t serve it
any more, you leave and go to the next restaurant.  They may or may not serve it, but it is
not the same as you had imagined it at the one you first visited.  What do you do?  Do
you complain, adapt, settle or reform your appetite and move on?  It’s a hard choice, but
a choice must be made.  A choice to either pretend, settle or make it in a way through
trial and error, that will be as close as it can be to what you want or need it to be, or the
way you imagine it tasting.  Think about it, think about that, think about this and then
think about the meal you just ate.  Think of it as more than just a meal.  Think about
how it was prepared, presented, the cost, temperature, quantity, quality, how you ate
it and why you ordered or prepared what you did.  There is a pattern forming in your
mind right now, and that pattern is a limited menu you have found to be the menu of
your life, or meal if you are still hungry.  The meal you just had was safe, satisfied you
just enough to get you to the next meal.  It was not what you really needed to nourish
you, but what you wanted to keep you from remembering the needs you know you
need.  Think about it.  Think about how much water you know your body needs, and
then about how many sodas or sugar filled beverages you just drank.  Did you have
enough water today?  Or did you tease your body, the only body you have into thinking
you will have some water later on, and just hold on and take what you just gave it?  
Which one?  Which beverage did you select, did you need, did you want, did you
have and why did you make that choice when the menu and availability of what you
know and have at your disposal is limitless?

Now, turn that meal into your heart.  Not your physical heart, but the invisible one
that feels and pumps more emotions than blood.  The part of your heart that
seems to crack when it is hurt, but no x-ray machine can detect.  The heart that is
filled with emotions, love, passion and more.  Imagine the menu is not filled with
food but with people.  People you see and may want.  People you see and may
need.  People you know are nutritious, bad for you and more.  Imagine that
restaurant, or world as I described it, is not serving meals but love.  What would you
order?  How would you order it?  How much of it would you order?  What if you knew
the price, couldn’t afford it and you know it was there, waiting for you to take it home
with you in a doggie bag?  Would you go get another job so you can afford it? Would
you settle on what you could afford, knowing it will not satisfy you, but get you by until
you could one day?  Would you starve yourself? Would you try and charge it on your
credit card, put it on lay-away or steal it in hopes you wouldn’t get caught? What if
this meal we call love only looks good on the menu, but turns out to taste like shit
when you try it?  Would you change courses, make another selection or blame the
chef because it isn’t and wasn’t what you imagined it tasting like.
