Was I Fed Today?
Day 36
Buechner offers another simple practice for the end of each day.
“And then hunger - the literal hunger of people in the world and our own literal or figurative hunger. What did we hunger for today? Was I fed today? Did I feed anybody today? We all have hidden hungers. We starve without knowing it for each other, I suppose, for silence, for beauty, for holiness, for God. It's the kind of hunger that you don't recognize until it's fed, and then you think, My golly, I was hungry for that.”
Frederick Buechner, The Remarkable Ordinary: How to Stop, Look, and Listen to Life, Grand Rapids: Zondervan, p113.
To help you reflect…
What is feeding you at the moment? What hidden hunger is this revealing to you?
