Being Cooking
An inspirational text from Mutsuko Johnson
Sometime ago, I felt how important cooking is.
I began to call it ‘Being’ cooking.
This is different to what I have been practicing for so many years.
I discovered being in the cooking. Being Home cooking.
Until this time I never acknowledged that whenever I begin cooking I become calm.
I always felt like I was being at home. Being centered. Cooking completed the day.
It is very clear to me that cooking is the most practical and powerful way to practice Being.
Once we learn how to cook in this way, it can become ‘doing cooking.’ It becomes easy to act automatically. With awareness, being present, being now.
Being cooking! Being here and now!
Cooking can create Being Now, Being Present, Aliveness, each and every day.
Fresh foods can connect us with Nature.
Connect us with seasons.
It brings us such joy and happiness.
Cooking is a transformation of foods. It creates the art of life.
Transforms nature into our body.
We are not alone.
We are the Nature.
We are the Universe.
We are One.
