Feeding the soul is very different to feeding the body. The body does not need much to keep going, but the soul is a different story. The soul needs magic to survive and to thrive.

We all eat “factory” pizza now and again. We all eat junk food. We all swallow our food so quickly, and chew without even thinking what we are consuming. And we survive. But life is not about survival. It is about allowing the soul to soar.

When you are hungry a cardboard sandwich will do the job, but it is not memorable. We eat it, and we are basically satisfied, and it doesn’t kill us. We eat it and we live. We are feeding our bodies at a practical and utilitarian level but feeding our souls is way more demanding. No factory anything will do when it comes to feeding the soul. An inspired soul only wants the most beautiful music, the loveliest pictures, the more stunning art, the most wonderful people, the most amazing stories, brilliant books, incredible movies, the greatest love, the best the world has to offer. Factory pizza may feed the body when you are in a hurry and just need to eat, but it does not feed the soul. Feeding the soul is about taking in the best. Like when you dine out and make a night of it – you are feeding more than just your body.

When we celebrate life, we don’t go out and eat a meal for the sake of consuming food. We are wanting to feed our souls. That is what life is about.

We have so many restaurants out there and so many eating places, and we consume and consume and consume. But we don’t feed our souls nearly enough. No wonder there are so many zombies amongst us.
