"Maybe it is the connection between our bodies and the soil. Scripture tells us that this tie is more than intimate. We are made from earth, it says. We are of the same stuff. So when we work in the soil and get it under our nails and all over our clothes, there is good reason that we recognize the link. It’s not imaginary, it’s really there. When we tend the garden, we are tending to another part of ourselves and when we grow food for the sake of others we are loving them as God loves us – creating for them, providing for them, for our neighbors, our brothers and sisters."
