How Then Shall We Eat?

…hese things when I buy and prepare food. It’s time-consuming, error-prone, complicated, and messy. I don’t do it perfectly and I am sometimes misinformed. I do it in community with others, and I learn from them. I am patient with myself, and I make changes slowly – I deliberately make compromises because, sometimes, other parts of our lives matter more than what we eat. For example, we get take-out pizza now and then when we are too busy to cook a…

But maybe our uncertainty is enough. Open hearts and open hands leave us vulnerable to the gentle watering of grace, the warm sunlight of his incomprehensible love. Perhaps there will come a day that we, too, unfurl. And then: what if we bloom?…
