โฆ Synopsis
120 mealtime blessings from around the world, featuring a variety of sentiments, from the amusing to the heartfelt to the sacred.
Offering thanks for our daily bread is just about universal. A Chinese proverb gives us this reminder, "When eating bamboo shoots, remember the man who planted them." The Irish lyrically ask that "the sweet light within you guide you on your way." And for those who like to cut to the chase, there's "Good bread, good meat, good God, let's eat." What they have in common is a joyous and heartwarming appreciation for life's bounty.
Beautifully illustrated, these pages a bounty of blessings, timeless prayers, and irreverent sayings that connect us to all cultures and countries. Saying Grace is an expression of gratitude perfect for holidays, passing around the family table, or for solitary contemplation—whenever the spirit moves you.
