This morning I went to the food market and purchased avocados, mango, eggs, beans, rice. Walked to the Navy Pier Jewel Tree and was pleased to see that the sunflower ring was still present and radiant. Prior to making my offering of rice and pink flower petals I stood 25 feet from the tree, facing east, making mental offerings and taking in the splendid view. A sparrow landed close by and I noticed that its main interest was me, as it was continuously hopping closer while gazing at my presence. I read its thoughts, it was here for my rice. I nodded to the beautiful bird and walked to the tree and made my offering. A few moments later the sparrow was eating a rice breakfast underneath the Jewel Tree.
I ran to the track and did the usual exercises. Now I am pleasantly satiated with avocado, eggs, rice and beans.
