One day, I asked a chef
how he made his food taste
so delicious
He said to me
"It's simple. I carefully
mix spices with meats,
fruits, and vegetables,
then I combine them
in a particular order,
during which I apply
heat at certain times
and temperatures."
I was awestruck.
Then I asked a painter
how she created such
beautfiful images
She said to me
"It's simple. I mix certain
colors together, then I place
those colors on specific spots
on the canvas in a particular
order using a various number
of stroke techniques."
I was amazed
Finally, I asked a writer
how he wrote such beautiful
and inspiring lines
He paused and looked far off
into the distance, contemplating
what wise advice to impart to me
Then he took a hit off his ****
"I dunno, I guess I just
write, like, how I feel
and stuff..."
"Totally", I replied, as I bit into a ham sandwich
