#umamimemories Memories shape our experiences as living beings. They inform our personalities, perspectives, past, present, presence, and future. Two of the most evocative means of (re)producing those memories are the senses of taste & sound: the lingering and layering of sensations that any living being experiences at the twilight of flavor that sanctifies the tongue, and the divine reprise of song, melody, & words that warm the belly and the spirit. The selecting, sharing, and servicing of food & music to experience their most seductive, umami secrets is a secular sermon in itself, one that crosses all social, cultural, religious, and geographical landscapes. Therefore, food & music – the appreciation of both and their memory invoking powers – allow individuals to flourish in communion with other artistic disciplines; create and sustain communities; and establish the concept of an extended family, one that's not just linked by sanguinity, but also by the shared sense of umami: the fifth sense of taste reminiscent of a savory flavor.Umami Memories are the profound experiences that people remember involving food, music, family, the arts, and words. The melange of moods (a)rousing from a meal; the connections between music, art, philosophy, cultures, nature, & words; and the momentary families that (e)merge from these experiences all become immortalized as cherished memories, memories that become stories of savoring that each soul can sing about for a lifetime. Therefore, Savoring, Story, Song, & Soul stew Umami Memories.
