Beauty is not something we create.
It is what becomes visible when the underlying conditions are working.
We tend to think of beauty as something to pursue.

To improve.

When they are not, it recedes.

Food is not something we control. It is something the body receives. When the system is under load, even nourishment can feel like too much. When the conditions are right, the body recognises, processes, and uses what it is given with ease.
