In one bite I taste the sun sharing its perfect light
to invite the seed to burst through the soil.
In one bite I hear the ocean waves lapping at
the shore to share her salt and season this meal.
In one bite I feel the sensation on my tongue of a
perfect alchemy of flavor dancing down into my body.
In one bite I taste the soil that gave birth to the seed,
the plant and the tree that were to become my sustenance.
In one bite I feel the sensation of hands that lovingly
touched my food before it arrived on my plate.
In one bite I give gratitude for the hands, the seed,
the soil and elements that came together, joining
in their chorus of life to give me just one bite.
