What You Only Know by Tasting
Taste and see how good it is; blessed is the one who takes shelter within it.
Do I know the good things of life only in my head, passing them by without ever tasting?
📝Reflection
The poet says not "consider" but "taste." Some things you cannot know however much they are explained; you know them only by placing them on your tongue. So it is with love, with peace, with the warmth of this morning's coffee. I often lived life only in my head. Even with something good before me, I knew only the concept "good," and moved on to the next task without tasting it. To taste is to be fully here, now. The distance between knowing and tasting was exactly the distance between living and merely imitating a life.
