Food, is that when He hears the Call to Prayer, he hastens to perform his ablution. His prayer has started even before he stands behind the cleric. He is aching to worship for God to answer his Prayers, his heart, his intent, his wishes be heard. His soul is crying out to God to accept his Prayer; In  anticipation he hopes. Is that Food?

Food, is that when a Baby born, just barely a month old is yelling so much, a Mother in despair does not know what is wrong. She tries every mothering instinct she has been told. The Baby won’t stop yelling, she feeds the Baby milk from her raw, aching breasts. The Baby won’t stop yelling. She cuddles and rocks the Baby, perhaps sleep has come, the Baby won’t stop Yelling. She steps on the patio, thinking it’s time to visit the Doctor’s. Suddenly, there is silence. Mother looks over her Shoulder, there across the road, a Puppy is sat. Beautiful Silence…. Is that Food?
