A warm autumn afternoon is the ideal time for reflection on the profound underpinnings of our existence and the connections among them. Time, sunlight, bread, and dank mold that claims all living things—yet also nourishes them. I reflect on these as I make a yeasty beer bread, and follow the path of the sun across the sky, realizing we live on the thinnest of fragile films on a sphere spinning in time and space. All one can say is “Thank you.”
