The hungry question, the one that seizes our attention like that toothache Father Powell talks about, is the finger pointing at the moon. It s the story of Jesus teaching in the Gospel lesson of the Caananite woman. Gofio isn t bad, but I wouldn t want it as a steady diet. And I don t want to spend forever looking for our new home. The good news is that, if we learn the lessons of the manna, we won t have to.
Hunger invites focus.
Focus invites mindfulness. Mindfulness invites learning.
