I really enjoyed reading your sweet essay and your reflections on how we have become so alienated from Nature and from our Creator. So important to re=establish a mindful relationship with where our food comes from, and not take it all for granted as we mostly do.

On a practical note, I was surprised you included Japanese Knotweed in your wild food. Here in West Cornwall in the UK, it has taken over whole valleys, and is considered a huge problem, as non-native plants sometimes are. I have never heard that it is edible.

Dear Mark--thank you for this wonderful epistle....I just got back from our home in Italy where so much of what you describe is a way of life. I was unable to sleep and got up and there was your post to give my churning mind some rest. Thank you my precious brother. george
