All that I have comes from my Mother.
I give myself over to this pot.
My thoughts are on the good,
The healing properties of this food.
My hands are balanced, I season well!I give ... (show all)myself over to this pot.
Life is being given to me
I commit to sharing, I feed others.
I feed She Who Feeds Me.I give myself over to this gift.

I invite lovers and friends to come share.
I thank you for this gift.
