daily bread: good quotes no. 36
It seems clear to me now that my mother did very sacred work in her kitchen. She presided over our dinner table and offered us a sustaining and life-giving sacrament, the product of her love and her creative energy. Such work becomes sacred, I now think, when we focus creative energy into doing something, or making something, that contributes to the health and healing, to the well-being and wholeness, of ourselves and others.

daily bread: good quotes no. 31
All things are shadows of the shining True:
Sun, sea, and air . . .
Every thing holds a slender guiding clue
Back to the mighty oneness . . .

the spirituality of bread making
bread making is a sacred task. you use ingredients from the spaces & soil of the earth to create something that fills your body with what it needs. you adjust to your body's needs as well: wheat, wheat-free, dairy-free, whole grain...
you use your hands and you find yourself willing to devote a small amount of time to the task. making your own bread brings a sense of warmth, smells of divine baking, and happy, happy friends & family. besides that, you're making your own bread.
you can use the time to make, bake, and share bread as a spiritual practice. i'll be sharing more on the spirituality of baking bread, but wanted to give you something to think about as i lead workshops on this topic over the next two days.
where does your daily bread come from? are you creating your bread: what you need for your daily growth in mind + body + spirit? if your soul is thirsty, are you spending time trying to give yourself the water to drink? if you crave something more, know something more is within you, are you giving the space for the creativity within to grow?
making bread is about a pursuit of presence in daily living. it's about taking something simple and seeing it's simple. knowing that you can, you can make your own bread. you can feed your soul. you can use your wisdom. you can.
if you're saying YES! to making bread, here's a place to start: Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day.

You must live in the present,
launch yourself on every wave,
find your eternity in each moment.

daily bread: good quotes no. 29
"We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential."

"Try to love someone who you want to hate, because they are just like you,
somewhere inside, in a way you may never expect, in a way that resounds so deeply within you that you cannot believe it.”
