sit down and eat.......food for the soul that is....

Soul is our appetite, driving us to eat from the banquet of life. People filled with the hunger of soul take food from every dish before them, whether it be sweet or bitter.

Matthew Fox

Life is a feast

spread in a lavish

ongoing

buffet

waiting for us

to

walk up

sit down

and

enjoy the

wonder.

Sometimes

I find

that

I have spent more time

worrying about

whether everyone else is getting full and

feeding those who can't feed themselves

than

thinking about my own

ravishing

hunger and nutritional need.

The other day I stood back

watched the feeding frenzy going on

all around me

and

thought

"dammit"

I'm starving....but I'm not real sure where the line starts.

I waited

I felt guilty

I wasn't quite sure

where the

forks or spoons

or plates were...

my soul continued to rumble with hunger

I looked some more

and

stood with arms crossed

not knowing what to do.

Someone passed me a piece of bread

small

tiny pinch of whole

loaf

I placed it on my tougue

where

it

stayed

as I played with it in my mouth

savoring the sweet sacredness

of

nector

food for the soul

unfolding in a mysterious kind of way

that I can't explain.

I swallowed

and

felt the hunger for more.

Guilt plagued me

as I watched others

eat

thinking

I'm supposed to feed rather than partake.

I didn't understand

the confusion

and

a wise woman rooted in love

said

"It is time to eat"

Pull up a chair

dig right in

EAT

and

be filled...

and

I was able to breath

as

my famished soul began

 to eat.

Go on out and eat your fill today

I'm gonna try

blessings and hugs
