455. Four dinner invitations

```

I have received dinner invitations

From God and man,

From Heaven and earth.

Earth will feed me

With earth’s food: doubt and fear.

Heaven will feed me

With Heaven’s food: faith and courage.

Man will feed me

With man’s food: depression and frustration.

God will feed me

With God’s Food: Light and Delight.

Doubt and fear will not be able to feed me regularly;

Therefore I don’t need them.

Faith and courage may be a bit slow in feeding me,

But I shall gladly wait.

Depression and frustration will poison me

With their food.

No harm!

I know perfectly well

That I shall not remain always dead.

For I clearly see that God’s Food,

Light and Delight,

Is fast approaching my eternally real hunger. ```
