I laid out our solstice altar thinking about this important halfway point in the year, I considered my aspirations and let go of any unwanted energy, I let my thoughts run wild…wait, ouch, what’s that? Oh, I’m sitting on an ants nest. Thanks for the grounding mother nature.
Yes, it’s sad and discouraging - the story of how wheat is stripped of nutrition. I grew up eating that soft white bread, knowing nothing else. But how things ha changed here in the last 50 years! Now everyone I know eats whole wheat bread and there’s many sources to buy it locally made. My husband rushes to a small local market several times a week to see if the baker (who supplies the market with his delicious goods) has been by. Apparently he’s eccentric and periodically refuses to make our favorite loaf and we must make do with whatever he now fancies. Sources for great whole wheat bread have appeared just as the community’s tastes and appetite for it have grown. If good bread has come to Nashville, Tennessee, it must be more available everywhere.

Fantastic and so heartening! X
