This Thanksgiving, let us be grateful to those who grow the food and to the animals and the plants we consume. Please take a moment to support farmers and healthy food policy (petition linked below)
On this Eve of Thanksgiving, as families gather in warm kitchens, stirring bubbling pots over hot stoves and setting tables in preparation for tomorrow’s feast, please do, truly give thanks to the farms, the farmers and to the animals and plants farmed which brought abundance to us this year.
Sharing food is a sacred act, and its eating is a gift from the Earth and from the communities who grew it. Food is a gift of life from one species to another, from the Earth herself, from the soil and land. Every act of food growing and consuming is part of a larger sacred web of nourishment and meaning with the aim and potential to sustain bodies, communities, and future generations.
