Thanks & blessings be
to the
Sun & the Earth
for this bread & this wine,
this fruit, this meat,
this salt,
this food;
thanks be & blessing to them
who prepare it,
who serve it;
thanks & blessings to them
who share it
(& also
the absent & the dead).
Thanks & Blessing to them who bring
it
(may they not want),
to them who plant & tend it,
harvest &
gather it
(may they not want);
thanks & blessing to them who
work
& blessing to them who cannot;
may they not want - for their
hunger
sours the wine & robs
the taste from the salt.
Thanks be for
the sustenance & strength
for our dance & work of justice, of
peace.
