The Hungry Soul
“I cannot count the good people I know who to my mind would be even better if they bent their spirits to the study of their own hungers.”
M. F. K. Fisher (American Food Journalist; July 3rd, 1908 to June 22nd, 1992)
“Many of us constantly hold ourselves in check–about food, relationships, careers–stuffing our desires down deep into the self, as if sheer determination can keep the lid on the longing. But I am gradually coming to an awareness that hunger is holy. We’re meant to be hungry every day and to satisfy that hunger every day. Why else would the first petition in the Lord’s Prayer be for daily bread, even before divine assistance?”
“Our souls know many different kinds of hunger: physical, psychic, emotional, creative, and spiritual.”
“When I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and the warmth and the love of it. …And then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied… and it is all one.”
M. F. K. Fisher (American Food Journalist; July 3rd, 1908 to June 22nd, 1992)
“Love. Hunger. Appetite. Desire. Holiness. Wholeness. It is all One.”
“Satisfying the hunger everyday is the JUICE! Living each day as the best party ever!”
