Connection and relationships
30 Days of Perception - Day 22
Today I was cutting up a red bell pepper to make a savoury dish and I though how this one element of my meal was connected to so many things:
First of all, the pepper comes from Spain, grown by a farmer who makes sure it gets just the right amount of water. The warm sunshine ripens it.
Pickers harvest the peppers when they're ripe. Workers pack them to be transported to stores far and wide. This one certainly travelled by truck with a driver bringing them from Spain to Switzerland.
Then they were stacked in my local store for me by employees in the supermarket. Then I paid for my purchase to the lady at the check-out counter and now I am preparing a meal for myself and sharing it with another person.
So many connections made from the fertile soil in Spain, the sunshine and the rain and a whole chain of people connected to each other, without actually knowing anyone personally. It is thanks to these connections that I am able to put a meal on the table. We all rely and count on each other. We are all connected.
