During a not so pleasant moment two weeks ago when God's crazy but great mercy and grace where battling my horde of sin, I basically started life again from scratch. If it was possible, I would have turned into dust and started from the very beginning. But that cant happen. Instead I just stopped buying things, stopped eating, stopped driving, stopped working, stopped hanging out, stopped doing. I dint know how to do anything practical or spiritual. So I stopped.
Then about five minutes later I got hungry, so I decided to start with food. What do I eat? Why do I eat it? Is it from a good source? Is it full of preservatives, antibiotics, hormones? Is it helping me and helping the cycle of environmental life?
I didn't get many answers then, and they are surprisingly hard to find even now. I had to find some food out of necessity and realized this search is gonna take more time and energy than I first realized. So now I:
Buy my beef (and a few other natural goods) at Whole Foods
Buy my fruits and vegetables at the Mexican Market
Buy fresh tea from a few shops around town
And buy non food things at Target ... but only bc I have no other choice right now.
This is the start of a new chapter, a time where God is building from the bottom. I am a jippie. Life is practical and abstract. It's a season of embracing both for me, but it is so much easier to act practically when we can understand the abstract.
(and if you know anything, have any wisdom, or want to just share a joke, then please leave it.)
