Nourishment For The Body and Soul: Getting to the MARROW of Life

<p>The marrow–be it of a bone or of a book–is the deepest, healthiest, most sought-after thing that we can nourish ourselves with. </p><p><br></p><p>It is the hidden flake of gold, the buried piece of diamond for which we all dig–than which every lustrous rock and special stone is far less valuable. </p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, we draw our inspiration from the great French Renaissance writer, François Rabelais. </p><p><br></p><p>In his immortal book, “Gargantua”, Rabelais compares a dog (crowned by Plato as the animal kingdom’s most “philosophical” creature) who is in hungry pursuit of bone marrow, and a human’s attempt to get at the marrow of wisdom. </p><p><br></p><p>The aim, in both cases, is to get to the marrow of life–for the nourishment not only of the body, but of the soul as well. </p><p><br></p><p>What do you think? </p><p><br></p><p>Do you like bone marrow? </p><p><br></p><p>Comment with your opinions below!
