Look at her, the divine mother, her plump breasts offering the baby’s first meal, first food. Coconuts, zucchini, eggplant, nature is succulent, her curves are supple. Mmmmm, this food is my body, I eat, I live. No separation between me and the food, it becomes me. Divine union with the earth. “Rasa" is taste, juicy taste, we cross the boundaries with water, the womb, with eating, in love, our bodies and spirits are swimming in water.

‘Te Gusta’ I like you, I eat you. Gustacion. Food is relationship. In our eyes, I eat your spirit, you eat my spirit. It is all food, all medicine, the nose, the mouth, the hand, the ears the energy of the earth enters us and we perceive it.
