Soul Sustenance

It is said "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
It's all in how we see life itself 
and what we indeed take from it too
Our relation to time - being and existence
Food to the metaphysical heart - Love
Truth to the mind - bringing peace
physical and emotional fulfilment
When the soul is nourished 
we are in better place
to face the choices and decisions 
facing us each day
Thoughts are momentary
but any feeling 
is accompanied with repeated thought patterns
meaning they stay deep routed
within us for longer periods
Silence and reflection can help us to focus
making positive decisions for good 
causing ourselves a lesser pain
Spiritual sustenance
that is empowering to the inner self

Daver Austin Date: 7/27/2014 11:22:00 AM Yes. You get at the inner being here and the inner seems the only way to a decent life balance. Getting away from the physical is important. Love, daver Login to Reply Anna-Marie Docherty Date: 7/28/2014 7:49:00 AM So right Daver, too often we get caught up with the things going on around us and don't focus on our internal being to see what damage is being done. The soul needs peace... Thanks for your supportive comment.
