Our thoughts
-
Under the sun's watchful eye, we move our
bodies to till the fields and sow seeds, waiting for the nourishing rain. The
wind cools our sweaty bodies and carries the clouds of each season. Seasonal
handiwork increases time with family and friends, adds color to the table, and
when its purpose is fulfilled, it returns to the earth, becoming fertilizer for
the fields once more.
A life of handwork rooted in farming connects many things, circling round and
round, becoming a circle of life, a circle of people, growing ever more vibrant
and colorful.
It is like the flower hat of a dancer, forever twirling.
May the circle we dance in with all those connected by fate continue to spin
beautifully forever.
Enriching the experience of eating
Are there days when you don't eat?
Humans are busy creatures with countless things to do beyond just living. Yet, like all other animals, we sustain our lives by eating.
As animals, the act of eating is paramount. Simply enriching this one aspect alone significantly elevates the foundation of a life's richness.
This doesn't mean buying and eating expensive food.
Eat food made by someone you care about.
Eating with someone you love.
Taking the time to truly feel what you experience while eating.
Observing how the food you eat affects your mind and body.
Just doing these things enriches the act of eating for yourself.
Doing this every day allows you to clearly hear your body's voice. You begin to cherish your body more deeply. Then, what you truly desire becomes clear.
Why not start by enriching your life through “eating”?
