Absolutely—thanks for sharing this, Richard. It’s so true: the more senses we bring to the table, the more alive the experience becomes. There’s something powerful (and ancient) about eating with your hands—it really invites presence in a way we often forget.
I had come across something similar before, and it really had an impact on me—when I focused on the taste, the feeling, and being present while eating, it changed the whole experience.
But it’s something I had forgotten for a while… I’d lost touch with what a blessing it is to simply eat.
This means a lot—thank you for sharing this. I’ve definitely had those moments too, where presence with something as simple as a meal brings it all back into focus. Grateful this landed for you.
Read this somewhere before that eating with your hands enhances the experience. The senses are more alive and participate in eating than we think

Yes it does! Wonderful writing
Hi Eli,
I had come across something similar before, and it really had an impact on me—when I focused on the taste, the feeling, and being present while eating, it changed the whole experience.
But it’s something I had forgotten for a while… I’d lost touch with what a blessing it is to simply eat.
So thank you for the reminder. 🌿
