Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I dont know if this is the best place to post this, but all the talk of seasonal eating reminded me of an email I got recently from a member of our CSA.
It really made me think and count my blessings.
We try very hard to eat local, fresh foods. In difficult economic times (like now, for us) it is so easy for me to compromise my beliefs and shop where I have committed not to or buy things I know have a huge cost to our society and planet although the immediate out-of-pocket cost may be attractive.
This email helped me to put my current situation, and my choices, into perspective.
I hope you find this as powerful as I did.
What is eaten in one week around the world...
