You knocked it out of the park again Mary! Thank you! I became very concerned about what I was eating and feeding my family after giving birth to my first baby. Watching my loved ones eat the healthy foods I prepare for them is one of the joys of my life!
Also, I hadn't heard that quote previously to "act locally and think globally"-also really appreciated the commentary on that-that it's not possible for people to "think globally". I'll ponder on that one. Reminds me of Jordan Peterson's first piece of life advice in his book, "12 Rules for Life" to "Clean your own room". Essentially, his counsel is to get your life in complete order before you start claiming to know how others should do so.
Thanks again for your piece-it brought me joy and gratitude to hear such wholesome and helpful thoughts!
Thank you, Brittany! I'm so glad you found something useful here! I agree that seeing loved ones enjoy nourishing foods that I have made is one of life's joys. I'm intrigued by your association of Jordan Peterson's first rule with Wendell Berry's analysis of "Act locally, think globally" as an impossibility. That definitely tracks. I'm a huge believer in the "little way," and the good it can do.
