Footprints in the Windsm # 2122–Conversation is cooking
Footprints in the Windsm # 2122
Conversation is not primarily communication. It is cooking.
It’s making something that wasn’t before. It’s creating. It’s digesting—outside the body and brain. It’s something we carry out that no one carried in.
It’s breaking down the fibers with heat and adding textures, flavors, and sauces. It’s cooking down to essences. It’s building up to nourishment. It’s the difference between milk and crème brûlée.
