Thanksgiving 11/27/08
FREE LUNCH
I have heard there is no such thing
As a free lunch
I think I know what they’re getting at
But it really ain’t so
Thanksgiving Day is a fine day
To reflect on the deepest truths of nature
The conclusion jumping out
Smiling out
Springing up
Spreading out
It’s all free, a gift, no strings
Sun shines, rain falls, birds sing
Grain grows, miracles never cease
And it is all free, never to be paid for
Nor paid back
Where does it all come from?
The universe, the cosmos, the infinite, the spirit,
The void, from within, from nature, from God
Each breath you inhale quadrillions of molecules
Oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide
And countless others
Complex, alive, eternal, countless, infinite, delicious
Sustaining
Provided
why not be thankful
Thanks, total thanks,
Thanks to whoever, whatever, what it is
Very good stuff
More than enough
Always here
Unfailing
Thanksgiving Day
The celebration of the free lunch
