Blessing 1

Blessed be to you, Creator of our earth and its inhabitants.
We thank you for the abundance of food provided by the earth, and those who labor to grow and harvest it. Thank you for the food before us, the nourishment it provides, and all who share its bounty with us.
May we be ever mindful of our connection with all living creatures and work for their flourishing.
I am interested in the connection between the food we eat and the flourishing of not just us, but the other inhabitants of our earth. I also want the blessing to serve as a reminder that what we eat comes from the earth, and involves human labor to bring it to the table in the form it is in. Life is interconnected.
