From an apple that becomes a vegan apple pie sandwich, this conveys gratitude from the heart. When I was a child, I wanted to peel apples beautifully because it made me happy. When I grew up, I realized that this kind of beauty is an expression of respect and heartfelt gratitude.
Everything we see, use, and eat in our daily lives is a creation of and a gift from Mother Nature. How would we survive without Mother Nature to provide for and nurture us?
The heavens, earth, sun, and moon grace us with love and kindness. All living things and human beings are directly and indirectly connected with each other and affected by kindness. So we must always have a heart of gratitude, respect everything, care for everything, and cherish everything. Practicing these in our lives is an art of living that reveals the beauty of life, the beauty of humankind, and the beauty of nature. To be able to always be grateful is to be the most joyful and blessed individual.
