He often speaks of bread, for him it is a humbling and spiritual experience to make bread, something he learnt from Gandhi. I also thought of my lovely friend Iva from Prague and when we first me. She came to my house and started eating a wholemeal loaf of bread as though she had never eaten before. Do you not want anything else to eat I asked her. No she replied, I'm just grateful to be able to eat real bread. She then told me how in Prague there are bakers everywhere and how she could always get real bread and that was one of the things she missed in England, real bread, and this was the first time she had ate real bread since her arrival in England. We then went to <a href="http://www.heureka.clara.net/surrey-hants/farnham.htm" rel="nofollow">Farnham</a>, a small market town, where we sat outside an old pub and drank real ale, one of those other great products from grain. In England few people now know what is real bread. All the bakers have gone. All that is left is the rubbish that supermarkets sell which is jokingly called bread. After I had noted these thoughts, I went shopping and had a similar conversation with a baker. He made the same point, people have got so used to buying 'bread' from supermarkets that they no longer know what is real bread.

Jones. It is a fantasy novel set in medieval times in a world or magic. It is the first book in the trilogy The Book of Words. Following books; A Man Betrayed & Master and Fool. (I really can’t remember much as I read the book 14 years ago) The main character Jack is a servant working in a castle as a helping hand to the baker. One of the exciting developments is when Jack falls asleep and he lets the bread burn. On awakening, he realises what has happened and he accidentally unleashes a wave of magical power un-burning the bread. I lent the book to a friend, which was never returned :( Bread reminds me of a book (one of my favourite books of all time) I read many years ago called ‘The Baker’s Boy’ by female writer; J.V.

We are breaking bread together today, maybe next week we will share wine, providing Señor Coelho will grace us with that free association. Bread is an international symbol of hearth and home, the body of the divine and food for the masses. Baking it is the first joy, sharing it the second. I love it's smell and taste inspite of the calories. I would have to say that my two favorite breads are an apple bread I've made since I was 13 years old and corn bread. To me they are both ritual breads as the apple when cut open reveals the universal star and corn represents an abundant harvest.

Its use as a food in the physical world is based on availability, cost and preference. In formless worlds, spirit have no need for physical sustenance. However, the symbolism that one cannot live by on bread alone is a more far-reaching phrase than is often realized. Bread is viewed in a range of forms such as a staple or optional side dish.

Last Friday was the deadline for our latest photographic project in college, with the theme 'Bread of Life'. Six weeks ago this blog would perhaps have helped me to decide what to photograph, but since this question is proposed after the project, I shall share the outcomes here. After some consideration I ended up photographing the different chakras in relation to the human body. With this I attempted to illustrate the life force energy. If anyone's curious to see the photos, I put a couple of them up in flickr. You can click my blue name above to get there. Thanks. What a timing!
