Just Chew It!

Cows ruminate, which means to bring their food back up and chew it some more. A cow that doesn’t do this thoroughly is unable to properly digest its food, and suffers. We humans ruminate too, only we do it with words and ideas. But sometimes we fail to thoroughly ruminate upon the ideas we encounter, and suffer (and make others suffer, as well). To paraphrase a familiar motto, we all need to remember to Just chew it!

    “Just chew it.” Nice Nancy Reagan vibe! I’ll channel JFK: “Masticate with vigah!” 🙂

    PS: Comment in haste, repent at leisure. In my other comment I crossed Nancy’s “Just say no” with Nike’s “Just do it.” Ah well, onward into the fog.
