Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: openings before meals

[Sheilah Davidson (sdavidson]

we have a great blessing that we got from my daughter's Waldorf School
Earth, who gives to us this food
Sun, who makes it ripe and good
Dear Earth, and Dear Sun, we'll not forget what you have done
Blessings on our meal time.
