Feeding my soul

It’s March. Tomorrow the Fast starts. I realized this morning that I tend to think more about food during the Fast than at any other time. I feel like I need to make a sturdy breakfast in the morning and make sure I have solid dinner at sunset.

But the whole point of the Fast is to focus on my spiritual development, to nourish my soul. So I decided this year I’m going to put my energy into feeding my soul first and let the food take care of itself.

So what feeds my soul?

  • Being out in nature
  • Music
  • Sewing something beautiful
  • Color
  • Sunshine
  • Gardening
  • Being of service
  • Connecting to Baha’u’llah
  • Singing
  • Loving
  • Bringing joy and hope to people’s hearts
  • Encouraging the people around me

I’ll bet you could live forever on food like that!
