Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech
I made a birthday dinner for a friend last night. When we sat down to eat I realized I had an orange color theme. There was a salad brimming with cava oranges, a navel orange and a pink grapefruit and an orange cake with orange frosting. The fish had a sauce that was bright green with cilantro and coconut milk, and the only neutral dish was quinoa. It was rainy and dismal yesterday, so I think I intuitively wanted to brighten things up. I picked out yellow flowers for the table as well. Color can certainly change my mood, and automatically adjusted the atmosphere in these subtle ways to make the meal warm and inviting. When we were eating the cake I laughed at myself and consciously noted the orange theme to my husband and friends. How we respond to simple tasks is interesting. Ever the optimist, I cheered myself up as I shopped and cooked. I am a funny creature!
