So many choices in so little space. And so often when we experience hunger—physical or emotional—we have a hard time knowing just what it is that we are hungry for.
What helps you discern just what it is you are hungering for?
Meaning
“Vision gives meaning to grace just as hunger gives meaning to food.”
― Paul Bamikole
What possibility lends meaning to your life?
Hunter
Whether or not hunting appeals to you personally, this much is true: each of us lives at the cost of other lives. What feeds us is the end of some other being’s life—plant or animal. Beings eating at the cost of other beings dying is simply the way life works.
How do you express gratitude to the beings who feed you?
Just a Grain
“Just a grain can bring a bird down from the skies.”
― Vineet Raj Kapoor
What small thing deeply calls to you?
Bread and Stars
“A man will seek to express his relation to the stars; but when a man’s consciousness has been riveted upon obtaining a loaf of bread, that loaf of bread is as important as the stars.”
― Richard Wright
