That feeling... that feeling when you come across something randomly, when you see or hear or touch something that strikes you unexpectedly
as beautiful... These nudges are the foods that quicken our souls.
Less in the sense of becoming faster and more in the sense of being stimulated. To quicken also means to give or restore life to, and a
couple of archaic meanings include to cause (a fire) to burn; and (of a woman) to reach a stage in pregnancy when movements of the fetus can be felt.
Wonderfully, they all touch on this experience of encountering something special.
Often we brush past these little excitements in our search for more recognisable, or more culturally popular features
but its these unanticipated attractions that feed us, nourish us, give us life. Things we actually love.
And when we make art with these foods, calling on a dozen different nudges for one piece, that's when we have more
of a chance of passing on that love and sharing that meal.
(The Quickening in the film The Highlander happens when one immortal kills another and in doing so absorbs all the
vanquished foe's power and knowledge obtained during his lifetime. Same thing really.)
