40 Contemplations for Lent — Day 23: Meat
For Lent this year, I’m giving up hiding myself from… well, myself! I’m having dialogues with my inner children about each topic from this link.
Cori: Meat is delicious.
Leo: I could eat.
Cori: Meat is also music!
Leo: “There’s a blood that’s flowin’ through the feeling, with a knife to open up the sky’s veins.”
Cori: Some people say “Meat is Murder.”
Leo: For all intents and purposes, it is. I won’t deny it.
Cori: *sighs* I feel really bad for eating meat after listening to that song. Poor animals.
Leo: I eat whatever is available.
Cori: I hear organs are the most nutritious part.
Leo: *thinks* They are tasty. Yes.
Cori: The Hour of the Wolf is near.
Leo: 3 am is when creatures come out to play.
wolfie: *pops in* did someone mention wolfie?!?
Cori: Not exactly, wolfie. We are discussing meat, music, and murder.
wolfie: *states in a cute, young, but incredulous voice* MURDER?!?!
Cori: *pounces towards wolfie* All the better to eat you, my dear!
wolfie: *eeps and scurries out of the room*
Leo: I forget you have that Scandinavian sense of humor. Nordic noir.
Cori: It’s hard to find people with the same sense of humor.
Leo: “In this lifetime, you got my human gets me blues”
Cori: Ah, Captain Beefheart. The cacaphony.
Leo: Indeed. This is meaty music.
Cori: Are you feeling courageous?
Leo: I could roar.
Cori: Meatloaf is one of my comfort foods.
Leo: “I would do anything for love, but I won’t eat that.”
Cori: *laughs* That’s not the right lyric.
Leo: I would rather eat steak tartare.
Cori: I’ll let you have that one. I’ll take some sushi though. Salmon or tuna, please.
Leo: I guess I’d take some salmon, too.
Cori: Salmon patties are comfort foods, sometimes. I haven’t quite mastered the cream sauce my dad would make.
Leo: Mrrrrow, I’ll take a bowl of cream. Yes please.
Cori: With black curtains by the station?
Leo: *cracks a smile finally* Ok, you got me with that one.
Cori: Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here until the page runs out. Where’s my meatloaf recipe?
Leo: “On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?”
wolfie: wait wait wait, what’s this about wolfie with roses?
Leo: Pipe down, kid. It’s just a Meat Loaf song!
