As a life long vegetarian (almost 72 years) it matters not what we eat but how we do. This poem encapsulates the spirit of giving & receiving without transaction, just the joy of it all.

Just listened to you speaking this. The first time I only read it. It's really so much more powerful and beautiful to hear you say it.

Please tell us who made that beautiful image of the salmon? I didn't see any attribution.

Thank you for the poem.

If we all regarded our relationship with food as sacred, just about everything else would be different.
