NOTE

Embrace the Cycle of Life and Desire

Eating is an act that acknowledges the cycle of life and death, connecting us to the earth and to each other. This sharing of sustenance signifies our eventual return to the earth, emphasizing that we are part of a larger process. The longing for the divine, expressed through language, prayer, and ritual, is a fundamental aspect of human existence. This craving isn't merely about belief in a deity but reflects a deeper desire for meaning and connection, which is inherently woven into the fabric of humanity.
