I had a meeting last week with some of my favorite people. I wanted to take something to share with them — something they could eat with their fingers so we didn’t have to spend our time with setups and cleanups, but also something I thought they’d enjoy.

In the early 1990s I stumbled on one of those small books whose simple truths spoke directly to my heart. It’s titled “Return to Creation” and was written by a man named Manitonquat, or Medicine Story in his native tongue.
