Part three the case for chocolate

 PROPOSING  ENTHUSIASTIC  APPLAUSE  for CHOCOLATE EATERS

Last night I was walking int the living room and  thinking about “my birthday so far” (well  more than that....but  you have to read on to  know the details).  Just then a piece of chocolate pie  floating on a paper plate came into view.  No—this a ewasn’t some mushroom-induced Roswell vision—it was  something my wife had to offer me because  people like chocolate and people like pie and it was too hot to make cake.  It also meant. Avoiding candles.  Maybe people put candslwea on pies, however I’ve never seen it.  Maybe people put other light and heat sources on other food although I think I might have remembered a blow torch on a baked potato or flashing motion lights on my Canadian bacon pizza.  Okay I’m over the “spotlight on a meatloaf” rant.  I’ll move on.

so this  piece of chocolate pie is here and of course  it had to be eaten with enthusiasm.  One has to know how solid the crust is, how smooth the  ice cream is can also be a mystery to be solved.  In short, I join millions, if not billions,  of people who take their chocolate  experiences  quiet seriously.  That my friends brings me to today’s PEACE acronym

You see i want.Propose Enthusiastic Applause for Chocolate eating because it is an activity that lots of people engage in. Fully, voluntarily (okay some seem to have an addiction), expending a great deal of attention  to the moment of impact of the morsel of candy.  This focus on a present. Moment in one’s life and on one’s sensations means that apathy will make inroads into many souls, but doesn’t ever really stand a chance given the strength of the human spirit and drive to seek solitary moments of joy.   

Healthy Kinds of Chocolate

They say dark. Chocolate is healthy and I believe that although I’ve never seen a little Dove square pumping iron or hanging  out at the local GNC. Store.  

So I’m accepting certain  kinds of chocolate can be  healthier than  others and I’m further  promoting that  if you give someone the gift of chocolate you are inviting them to engage fully in an enjoyable moment and these enjoyable moments reduce stress and create moments where other positive  things become. Possible.   Also so many chocolate  products come packaged in multi-piece ways.  I applaud them all with the possible exception of M&Ms.  Don’t get get wrong I like the variety of colors and the  taste is okay.  I do have a problem with the origin story  for  the s these “melts in your mouth” spheroid.  STheycame to us as a candy designed. To be eaten without harming one’s ability  to handle deadly weapons.  Maybe their parent company could issue a revisionist  statement about why they make  this stuff today...now would be a good time for that.   

a Lingering  thought  About History

In my previous  post I asked that people  consider the notion that there  is no past—that there is only  the current agreed upon stories  of what. Took place. Before.  In way of explaining...I would like to state I do not disrespect any notions that others hold, I only want to point out that they hold them now and act upon them now—they  impact today’s behavior and in that way people are currently choosing to give  those notions a voice when other thoughts could move things toward different purposes.  Accepting history  as something other than a current notion brings us  dangerously close to the tried and true method of not taking personal responsibility also known as “wwell—I guess that’s  just the way it’s always been.”  The two worst reasons for doing  most anything are.

1. It’s always  been done this way—(accepting. This means no indoor plumbin
2. No one else’s has ever. Done it this way—I’m not rushing right out to propose solid  glass underwear or screen doors for submarines.

Always and Ne ver are extremely powerful and somewhat dangerous. Words and each lasts a really, really,really, really, really, long time.  Did Imention there can last a while?  

let’s  get back to chocolateshall we?  Buy yourself a Hershey bar (any variety) and try this little experiment.  Eat  three squares/rectangles in rapid  fashion trying to tell the difference between the first and the last.  Make a mental note of what you remember  from the first taste to the last.  Now tomorrow. Eat one square/rectangle slowly, go do something that you consider a completed task then eat the second, do something else, and finally eat the third.  What  was the chocolate  eating experience this time?   Which will you choose next time?  Now do this. Same thing with someone else.. share three at a time or share one at a time and  be aware of  those experiences.   Have some tasty  fun with it.  

Okay... finally back to Peace.... Perhaps  eating chocolate isn’t the only thing. We can do alone or with others that. Helps us focus in the moment and. That brings forth a positive  sensation.   Maybe, just. Maybe I’m proposing that seeking peace can bed fruitful if we seek out  the focus and offer the experiences to a our fellow. Spiritual/human  beings?  

If nothing else even if you don’t care for chocolate maybe  you  might think of some activity  that grabs your passionate attention..if so.. these words have  melted in  your mind nbot in my hands.
