Wednesday's Silent, Simple Evening Meal

Our dinner meal on Wednesday evening is different from the others in the week.
A simple meal is prepared. Today was white beans cooked with tomatoes, whole grain rice, and steamed greens, ... bok choy I believe.


The first 20 minutes of this meal we eat in silence. The silence is broken by a designated member of our community with the ringing of a small bell and then a poem or other words to ponder.


I had a very busy and mind-expanding day of technology, so this quiet meal was welcomed and appreciated. Thanks Pendle Hill for another wonderful day!
