bread


freshly baked bread.
grab hold of the smell.
let it fill your senses.

hungry yet?
probably so.

been hungry for a long time.
nothing really gratifies.

5000+ were once fed with the five and two.
bread was multiplied.
lifted up with thanksgiving.

and all who ate were satisfied.
sheep without a shepherd. now satisfied.
compassion given - satisfaction received.

stomachs full. satisfied.
physically satisfied.

SATISFIED.

SATISFIED!

you get that?

satisfied at the hands of the One who satisfies more than physical needs but spiritual needs.
the Bread of Life.

i've got all i need. i should be satisfied.
must be eating the wrong bread.
filling my stomach with the wrong food.

i crave the Bread of Life.
want/need to digest it continually.

And I don't know where to look
My words just break and melt
Please just save me from this darkness*

Can you smell the bread?
take... and eat... do this in remembrance of me...
