my sister and i agreed to both give up chocolate and alcohol--
our mood-altering vices of choice--
to instead draw succor from the Source of all life's comfort and sweetness
and we have also taken up a renewed practice of gratitude
so amid the fast i enjoy my food: tonight's dinner of soba,
roasted kabocha, boiled egg, sauteed kale with garlic and ginger,
orange and grapefruit slices
giving thanks for the sun, the soil, the rain, the farmers, the chickens, the truckers, the grocery store workers, my own two hands, a warm house, love at the table, and the Giver of all good gifts
