In the market I walk
Through the garden I enter
Reverence it asks...
Listen to the food, I ask,
To the seeds my saliva ignites.
To the tables I bring thee
Laughter, renewal, connection
Let me always listen
To what the food is offering
Let me bring forth to the people
Food as love, peace, and inspiration
