Eating with a squirrel

The squirrel on the neighbor's rooftop. 
This morning as I was enjoying my spa breakfast I saw a little squirrel eating a loquat.  To my delight, I watched this little creature enjoy his fruit, as I too was enjoying my strawberries, pineapple and banana cut up and placed in a pretty dish.  As part of a very deliberate practice of doing one thing at a time, including eating my meals without reading, texting or other task, I am observing life more fully. Food has become more flavorful as I savor each bite,  people are more interesting as I practice presence without distraction from computers and other things,  and nature is vibrant and beautiful as I take time to observe.  Taste and see the goodness of the Lord of Life, it is rich, luxurious and satisfying one thing at a time.
