I'm eating a salad with beans,sesame seeds, and wakame, miso soup with shiitake and taro, brown rice, and drinking bancha while listening to Meitei’s Kwaidan and thinking about today’s schedule. I’m reminded of how deeply food and music can influence each other. The music is echoing through my body.
