Feeding the soul

Posted on by

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.

The parrot and the magician

Posted on by

A magician worked on a cruise ship.

The audience was different each week so the magician did the same tricks over and over again.

There was only one problem: The captain’s parrot saw the shows each week and began to understand how the magician did every trick.

Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show, “Look, It’s not the same hat!” or, “Look, he’s hiding the flowers under the table!” Or “Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?”

The magician was furious but couldn’t do anything. It was, after all, the captain’s’ parrot.

Then one stormy night on the Pacific, the ship unfortunately sank, drowning almost all who were on board.

The magician luckily found himself on a piece of wood floating in the middle of the sea, as fate would have it … with the parrot.

They stared at each other with hatred, but did not utter a word.

This went on for a day … and then 2 days. And then 3 days. Finally on the 4th day, the parrot could not hold back any longer and said ….

“OK, I give up. Where’s the fuckin’ ship?”

I recently spent $6,500 on a young registered Black Angus bull.

I put him out with the herd but he just ate grass and wouldn’t even look at a cow. I was beginning to think I had paid far more for that bull than he was worth.

Anyhow, I had the Vet come out and have a look at him. He said the bull was very healthy, but possibly just a little young, so he gave me some pills to feed him once per day.

The bull started to service the cows within two days … all my cows! He even broke through the fence and bred with all of my neighbor’s cows in the next field.

He’s like a machine! I have no idea what is in the pills the Vet gave him … but they kind of taste like peppermint.
