My first experience with this mind-body unity was many, many years ago.
I was married when I was very young.
And we went to Paris on a honeymoon.
And I was now 18, 19, going on 30.
So I had to be very sophisticated.
And we're in this restaurant.
And on the menu was this mixed grill that I ordered.
And on the plate came pancreas.
So I said to my then husband,
Which of these is the pancreas?
He points that one.
So I eat everything else.
And now comes the moment of truth.
I have to eat it because after all, I'm married.
I don't know how that followed, but it seemed to at the time.
So I start eating and I'm literally getting sick.
He starts laughing.
I said, why are you laughing?
He said, because that's chicken.
You ate the pancreas a long time ago.
