"You're scared because you look at scary things," he said.
They chose seats and marveled at the braided loaves hanging from strings.
"It's a cafe," he said.
She disagreed. There was so much bread it had to be a bragging baker's collection.
He smiled.
"You know what's funny?" He asked.
She knew, "We're low carb and here we are staring at things that are not for us."
"It's like you watching scary things. They're not ours," he reminded her.
"We were not made for fear," he went on.
"Some of it isn't even true," he said, then shrugged, "They lie to us."
Funny how they knew it, but watched the show anyway. Why did they do that?
They ordered stacked sandwiches, each made with four cups of flour, then pulled off the meat and lettuce and tomato slices. Picking, choosing, leaving what wasn't for them on the plate. So much of life is like that. You don't have to eat it all.
You are so right! We don't have to eat it all. We just have to be aware that sometimes the things we shouldn't eat are too tempting and tickle our taste buds.

I am not totally sure what you mean here - but it is true - you don't have to eat everything that is fed to you.
ReplyDeleteЭто точно!
ReplyDeleteGood analogy, and deeper meaning here as well!
ReplyDeleteI love this illustration!

All the best Jan
How relatable! I certainly don't need to consume all that's served.
ReplyDeleteLove this.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. The good choice is there. Right in front of us if we stop to think things through.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,

This cafe is a real bread museum!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting are those words, well done.
ReplyDeleteAmen! It's literally what we "feast" our eyes on that either brings us joy or instills fear in us. Great post, Sandi! xx
