A Prayer: May All Be Fed

This picture stirs so many thoughts and feelings, but what comes to my mind foremost is from the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, Aparigraha, which is to be free from hoarding or coveting. So often we overeat, worried that hunger will rear its ugly head. We over buy at the grocery store, afraid we will not have enough choices to eat later. We must have those chocolate chip cookies, or popcorn, or chips tonight in front of the TV; they are a form of security for us. We will purchase five kinds of fruit, because we are going to be healthy, darn it! Only to have it rot in the bowl before we can eat most of it.
And do we really NEED another purse?
If we take only what we need, food, clothing, shelter, perhaps there will always be enough for others. I pray that each time a dollar is saved, it goes to better use, somewhere it is needed.
May the abundance of the universe be shared equally among all sentient beings....
Amen
