GIFT OF BREAD:  Very few things in life compare with the gift of bread, whether or not the bread is needed for nourishment.  Something basic, something elemental, something symbolic is contained in it.  The shape of the loaf isn't important.  

A new bakery has opened for business near my house.  I haven't seen the store.  I've only seen and smelled the warm loaf.  For now that is enough.
