Food for Thought began with a playful question: What if food could speak? Not with words, but through memory, meaning, and metaphor. What if a kiwi could whisper "Can we?"-inviting possibility? What if a prune reminded us of the grace in letting go, or a peach encouraged us to pitch our ideas with courage? From that question grew a banquet of 70 meditative reflections, where everyday ingredients became vessels of insight. Grounded in biblical truth and seasoned with spiritual wisdom, this book invites readers to slow down and savor, not just their meals, but their lives. It's not a cookbook, though it may feed you. It's not a manual, though it may guide you. It's a table set with stories, symbols, and soul, each bite offering a mirror to what's within. We've peeled onions of meaning, heard the "pitch" of a peach, the "reason" in a raisin, and the "rise" in rice. Even the humble beet and cabbage carry stories of grace and transformation. In a world of fast answers and loud voices, Food for Thought is an invitation to pause, reflect, and listen to the quiet wisdom simmering in the ordinary. As you close this book, may your meals become moments of mindfulness, your table a place of transformation, and your life full of flavor, meaning, and grace. And one last thing: If this "Food" nourished you, give thanks to the Master Chef who prepared it, not the waiter who served it.
