Feast away

When you diminish another person, you diminish yourself

When you diminish yourself, you diminish others

                                           John O’Donohue,  Eternal Echoes, p. 76

when we feel it necessary

in order to build ourselves up

in order to create a sense of power and importance

when we feel it necessary

in order to “defend” our ideology

(or faith as the case may be)

to cut others down

We diminish ourselves

we become smaller

as our souls shrivel

when we find it impossible

to love ourselves

to build ourselves up

and when we thus, feel small

we find it even more necessary

to make others smaller than ourselves

the smaller we are

the smaller we must make them

the only solution to any of this

is a “fat soul
a soul stuffed with God

feast away

on Sacred love

gorge yourselves

 and don't forget

to pass the plate
