Thanksgiving and potatoes

Working in the kitchen ...

  with thanksgiving in our hearts

for the fruits and vegetables of the fields

for the rice and potatoes

for the nourishment we need.

Let us look around us ...

is there anyone near us

with whom we can share our bounty?

Sometimes we are the one with the bounty,

and sometimes we are the one in need.

Let us all be brothers and sisters to each other

and extend our open hand, and share of our bounty

As God has blessed us

let us share our blessings with others.
