Sacred kitchen

"Tools of the kitchen are to be regarded as sacred vessels"
~Christine Valters Painter


Copper pot painting by artist Jean Baptiste Chardin


Blessings upon the food that we eat,
the hands
and the tools of the kitchen
that help prepare it.
~
Spirituality calls 
everyone
and 
everything
including ourselves
as holy.
~
It is all holy ground.
