Value is not made of money, but a tender balance of expectation and longing.
In her book "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle," Barbara Kingsolver explores the concept of value beyond monetary worth. She suggests that true value arises from a delicate interplay between what we desire and what we anticipate. This perspective encourages a deeper appreciation for the things in life that enrich our experiences rather than merely their financial cost.
Kingsolver's insight prompts readers to reflect on the significance of their choices, particularly in relation to food and sustainability. By highlighting how expectation and longing shape our understanding of value, she reinforces the importance of connecting with our food sources and cultivating a mindful approach to consumption.
