You are on the hook

bread

“Askida Ekmek: there is bread on the hook. 

It’s an ancient tradition in Turkey. 

When buying a loaf at the local bakery, you choose to pay for an extra loaf and, after bagging your purchase the owner will hang the second loaf on a hook on the wall. 

If a person in need comes by, he or she can ask if there’s anything on the hook. If so, the bread is shared, and hunger is relieved. Perhaps as important, community is built.”

And now that you’ve read that story..

it’s your turn. 

You are on the hook.

What a great place to be.
