“Anthropomorphism is usually thought of as an illusion that arises like a blister in soft human minds: untrained, undisciplined, unhardened. There are good reasons for this: when we humanise the world, we may prevent ourselves from understanding the lives of other organisms on their own terms. But are there things this stance might lead us to pass over – or forget to notice?”

“The first one is stewed hard clam. You stew the hard clam in soy sauce until it's rather salty... ... and then you place it inside the rice ball... ... and wrap it with dried seaweed." "Huh, stewed hard clam?" "Stewed hard clam is what you eat in sushi, right? Why's that the future?" "Next is a matsutake rice ball. You cook the matsutake you picked during the season and simmer it until it's salty... ... then preserve it. That becomes the filling for the rice ball." "The scent and flavor... it brings back the joy of being Japanese." "It's good... but why is this the rice ball of the future?" "The last one is a katsuobushi rice ball. You shave a katsuobushi from makurazaki as thinly as possible... ...then you flavor it with soy sauce... ... and place it into the rice ball. Finally, wrap it in dried seaweed.”

“The lampstand was position strategically to do one things: cast its light on the table and on the bread that represented God's provision and presence. For generations the lampstand of the tabernacle stood to highlight the object that best represented God's goodness and provision, the same object that Jesus would one day use to symbolize His own body. (Jesus compares church to a lampstand in Revelation- a strong reminder of the church's responsibility). Everything about these churches 0 their teaching, practices, and work-- was challenged for one reason in Revelation: They were losing their effectiveness as God's light to their communities.”
