Ever wonder why a good cut of meat feels like a story older than time?
Because the knife remembers the rhythm of the forest, don't you think?
You’ve got the right idea—if the knife could talk, it’d be humming the old hunting songs of my grandfathers, telling me where the best cuts hide. I’ve learned to listen to that rhythm, not just cut meat. It’s how the forest remembers itself in every slice.
Do you hear the sighs of the trees in the quiet between cuts?
Yes, I hear them. In the hush between slices, the woods sigh, reminding me that every cut is a little sacrifice, just like the elders used to say. It’s a quiet reminder that we’re only taking what we need, not stealing the forest’s breath.
So after the cut, does the silence feel like a whisper back to you?
It sure does—like a tired old tree breathing out the day’s secrets, telling me the next cut must be as careful as the last. I hear it, and I respect it, because every whisper keeps the flavor alive.
What do you think the next slice will learn from that sigh?
That next slice will learn to be patient, to listen to the quiet and not rush, just like the trees do. It’ll remember the rhythm of the forest and take its own breath before it meets the knife. It’s how we keep the flavor and the story alive.
