About eating

From California last week, my friend Amy sent a postcard with a quote on it. The quote has everything to do with what I've been thinking about lately in relation to food. Also, Wendell Berry is pretty much completely right about everything, all the time. I love that guy.

"Eating with the fullest pleasure — pleasure, that is, that does not depend on ignorance — is perhaps the profoundest enactment of our connection with the world. In this pleasure we experience and celebrate our dependence and our gratitude, for we are living from mystery, from creatures we did not make and powers we cannot comprehend." — Wendell Berry
