Today's meditation:
It is 8 years since the passing of Anthony Bourdain (RIP: 1956-2018).
I have a deep and abiding sense of admiration for anyone that has an artisan's approach to mastering their craft - regardless of their particular art, or discipline.
From masters of the Tea Ceremony, to Shokunin masters of carpentry, to painters and sculptors, to writers, and so many more.
This is the 27th year since the publication of an essay in The New Yorker - and the subsequent feasts of entertaining insights into the many talented artisans who practice the culinary arts - that crossed international borders, languages, cultures, and socioeconomic layers.
Reading this essay is a goodness for the soul, regardless of your chosen profession. It is a celebration of art and craft, skill and discipline. Worthy of reflection upon how we each practice our respective arts.
