Delicious Earth Day Food:
Breakfast:
32 ounces lemon water and a great 5 miler in the warm sunshine
Lunch/Snacks in Varying Degrees:
3 stalks of celery filled with sundried tomato/walnut pate, made lovingly by my dear friend Lizzie
an apple with a tablespoon of almond butter
8 -10 soaked almonds; no skin
thick smoothie with fresh Thai coconut water and meat, 5 leaves of red chard, large handful of parsley and 1 apple
hours of hiking in the warm sunshine in honor of Earth Day
Decadent Snacks with Liz:
Lizzie's raw brownies; two each
3 'One Lucky Duck' raw macaroons; two chocolate (these elicited the "O" response in me!) and one blondie
No Dinner, as I feel satisfied, satiated and filled with very high energy; my body feels complete with food for today
A good friend of mine called me today; we hadn't spoken in awhile. He mentioned owning part of an organic garden and said something about how we should all have our hands in the earth. I responded, "Yes, and being 'hands-in' with the earth will also connect us more deeply to our relationship with our food." When we eat out of cartons, containers and boxes, we lose all connection with the earth, except as a repository for our garbage.
Take your shoes off and walk in a garden. Feel the warm soil on your feet. Today I hiked on the valleys and peaks of the earth with a dear friend; we blessed the earth; we shared our lives and stories and let the earth hear our secrets. And I ate raw food from the earth; no mayonnaise, no pasteurization; no chicken nuggets; just simple food from the earth.
Thank you, dear earth, for putting up with so much abuse and still waking up happy each day. May you continue to cultivate passionate soil and nourish our precious ecosystem.
