I'm grateful for this food,

For the hands that planted it,

Picked it,

Packed it,

And prepared it.

I'm grateful for the nourishment it offers,

For the way it will carry me through the day ahead.

Let this meal be fuel for my body,

My mind,

And my spirit.

Let it nourish my heart.

Let it support my energy,

My clarity,

My calm.

May this food give me what I need,

Even if I don't yet know what that is.

As I eat,

I honor the labor,

The land,

The lineage behind every bite.

I don't take this moment for granted.

I don't take this meal for granted.

And I offer thanks,

Not just with words,

But by receiving it fully,

With presence,

With care,

And with joy.
