Organic veg


I get a box of organic fruit & veg delivered every Saturday morning from www.riverford.co.uk. Even though I've paid for it, of course, it still feels like a gift from Heaven. Like most people I've lost all connection with the earth. I've never owned a garden or grown my own food. I work in an office and I get there on tarmac cyclepaths & roads. But when my veg box arrives I'm reminded of what food really is - the produce of living organisms, growing out of the soil, the "dirt", the waste and decaying compost, dead & discarded by animals like us. It comes back to me, transformed into healthy, nutritious, life-giving and tasty food. I want to fall on my knees and give thanks.
