Learning to prefer the taste of Silent Wholeness over the taste of food, even while we are taking our meal, is but one of the gifts of God's daily bread: A trans-substantial matter that not only nourishes body and soul, but that always leaves us feeling lighter regardless of how much grace is taken in.
