Bread deals with living things,

with giving life,

with growth, with the seed,

the grain that nurtures.

It is not coincidence that we say bread is the staff of life.

My piece of bread only belongs to me when I know

that everyone else has a share,

and that no one starves while I eat.

like the sound of lightly flowing water,

is indescribable in its evocation

of innocence and delight.

Good bread is the most fundamentally satisfying of all foods;

and good bread with fresh butter,

the greatest of feasts.
