Just as the body cannot survive without nourishment, neither can the soul. From the time that we are born, we are taught how to nourish our bodies. As infants, we are provided with enriched formulas and fortified cereals. As toddlers, we are weaned onto easily digested fruits and vegetables. As pre-schoolers, we are plied with low sugar snacks and plenty of milk. As we enter school, we learn the food groups, we are encouraged to be healthy eaters. We are put on the path to a healthy, well nourished body from the time we take our first breath.
Yet, we are not provided with the same training on the nourishment of our souls. This is a learning that we each must formulate on our own. It is a conclusion that we must draw for ourselves. We can begin here...What nourishes your soul? What makes your heart race til its likely to burst? What brings you so much joy that it hurts to your very core? Where do you find these things? How do you hold onto them? When do you know that you have found them?
These are the questions that I seek to answer as I journey on this quest for my own holy grail...'The Bread of Life.'
