Earth, rain, and sunlight combine to create foods that can sustain our lives. Imagine what a wonder and mystery this was to the ancients. Their responses was an outpouring of gratitude, such as at the festival of Sukkot.

How plants grow and fruit is no longer a true mystery to us. What have we lost when we take the wonders of the natural world for granted. This Sunday is a day to reconnect with awe and gratitude for the natural world.
