Cohousing-L Mailing List: opening before meals

[Rebecca Walzer (mamawalzer33]

Here in Tierra Nueva we shy away from "religious" meal openings as well.
One opening that I've used (that we use in my home) is this Zen prayer that
I found in Gary Snyder's book, The Practice of the Wild:
"We venerate the Three Treasures,
Teachers, the Wild and Friends,
And are grateful for this meal,
The work of many people
and the sharing of other forms of Life."

blessings,
Rebecca Walzer
