Red Wine

mmmmm....yummy. Red Red Wiiiiine.......makes me forget that I am....oh wait, that's a song. But what a good song. And about something soo goood. Now that is something I can appreciate. If you haven't done it yet this week....kick back, open a bottle of wine, and just sniff and sip. Don't do anything else. Just savor it. Now that is a moment of your life you will never get back, but guess what....that pleasure is opening your senses. Red wine is meant to be sensed...by your tongue, by your nose, by your eyes.....its about feeling....mmmm.....what luxury. what decadence. what pleasure. What is more human?

I think we all need more red wine in the world. I mean new studies come out every week promoting the benefits of a glass of red wine a day to your health. Hey, anything that good, can't be bad. Sure, ok, in large doses it may make us do some silly things.....like that time I had to go to the bathroom and I....wait....I am digressing again. Damn it. Damn that red wine! Oh, but it is sooo good. Right, so what was I saying...yes, the benefits of red wine and what would happen if we all just enjoyed more wine. Maybe, just maybe, people would just chill out more. Maybe our politicians wouldn't be soooo obsessed with gaining more power. Maybe our corporate leaders wouldn't focus on that last bottom line. Maybe our parents wouldn't snap at their kids for dropping their ice cream cone. Maybe...maybe...things would be easier, slower, like the whole world was on slow play.

Now that would be nice. Sometimes, when I drink wine, I feel sleepy. But maybe thats how I am supposed to feel...and the wine is just bringing it out. Ok, yes, people I DO know that alcohol is a depressant. Just work with me here, ok? What if, red wine, brings out the truth in all of us? Makes us feel and be our true selves.....maybe then we wouldn't get so angry at stupid things and we wouldn't stress so much about unimportant issues. Maybe, we would all just see things as they are supposed to be. Ok, am I sounding alcoholic now? Really, I'm not...I swear....oh, just one more glass. ok, what was I saying again? Oh right...the world on red wine.....now that would be a fun world to live in. I bet we'd have shorter work days, more vacation time, longer dinners, less t.v., and happier people.

So what's stopping us? Nothin people! So get on it and lets start this revolution together!!!! Everyone open up that bottle of wine and save the cork. Share that bottle with your favorite person(s) and savor it...but don't do anything else. Just for a few minutes now....imagine..what would the whole world look like if we did this together? Maybe the bombings would stop. Maybe the rockets would pause. Maybe we'd drop the guns. Maybe we'd smile. Maybe we'd forget just for a moment our worries. And maybe we'd see that we are all the same at the end of the day. That you and I enjoy one thing in common....red wine.
