The nature around them is their bowl of food. They search and find.
When we sit at the table for a meal, we receive what is on the table. We have a prepared table to go to at each meal time.
That is not true of the animals above.
It is not true of people in Gaza. They do not have a table to return to for each meal.
This is a story of people scattered in different places, where the social and economic developments are yet to catch up with them to have their basic needs met!
We live in an unequal world, where opportunities favour some and others are left to fend for themselves.
This question of how I am to be mindful, in my little way, of people who are weary of striving and yet not finding, came upon me as I returned from the walk!
