ITADAKIMASU
A single Japanese word captures this sense of indebtness to everyone and everything that makes a meal possible: itadakimasu ( pronounced EE ta da kee mas). Saying it at the beginning of a meal honors the sun, the rain, the earthworms, the farmers, the merchants, the cook — everyone and everything that collaborate to bring the meal together. In a word— itadakimasu– you are honoring the Source of Life behind it all….there is no English equivalent. ____ Charles Garfield, Wisdom Circles
