You Are the Universe, Not Just Stardust Darling Slaves

food, god, and the universe as you You are the universe (I insist and will prove it) So say grace before you eat ... You agree we are stardust, the stuff of the Universe So say grace before you eat, but think productively ... If stars & humans are stardust, why not the food we eat? So say grace before you eat ... and respect the food you become Like the sun, we turn a piece of bread into bigger humans So say grace before you eat ... know why Jesus did so We have been recycled here, not dumped from another "place" So say grace before you eat ... we are in this together Listen: like water is not created, only recycled, so are we! Say grace before you eat ... or drink! We are eating the sun daily, in terms of food pyramids, the food chain Say grace before you eat, drink, or go fishing ... We are recycled energy from sun, recycled water, modified fish, meat, fruit Say grace before you eat fruit, fish, fowl, or larger mammals or snails And do not let THEM tell you where you stop connecting with YOUR universe Say grace before you eat, and during cooking, by thanking life in the pot Jesus made much of the communion; you let RELIGION stick you a ritual: Lapsed Episcopal Minister, Alan Watts, said: "Cooking is a process of loving" Say grace before ... during ... after consuming the Universe Because you are consuming YOURSELF: You The Universe Disguised!

O Jen, your generosity & Jesus-like attitudes are so encouraging .... u see how HINDUISM saying everyone can become gods, is now made CHRISTIAN sense. In arguing with the Pharisees Jesus told them David in his Psalm said "Ye are gods!" & Psalm * may be read that way, too. He taught, "The Kingdom f God is within you!" shalom, shalom & Eirene (YOU made my day & night, LOL!)

FOOTNOTE as ELABORATION: You usually agree we are but stardust, then ... we do NOT go further, because the THOUGHT POLICE won't let you leave religious ideas ... even if you don't practice RELIGION. amen & shalom, shalOM. Much love.
