Gratitude

For the shopper who picked out these potatoes and this head of lettuce

For the bagger who sorted all the freezer foods in one bag, the refrigerator foods in other bags, the produce together, the pantry items in others

For the driver who found my house without getting lost….which happens…and delivered the bags to my patio table

And stretching behind them, the truck drivers and farmers and harvesters, all of those who brought this food to my table

This blueberry

This tomato

This mushroom

This potato

This leaf of lettuce 

For which I feel gratitude
