The Soul that gets Fed.
You don’t know your soul is starving until you are sated. You don’t realize how disconnected you are until you feel that sizzle, that electric current of understanding with another being. What speaks to your soul? Does your heart hear the same language as mine? The authors that have filled me, inspired me, embedded themselves into my thoughts, infiltrated my heart, are those whose words are full of pain-tinged hope, self-deprecating humor with that hint of flippant sarcasm that informs you of their scrappy pride that will be beaten out of them easily. Writings that speak truth, that innate unexplainable knowing that we all have down deep in our consciousness. The writer whose story you want to know more of, the writer that sparks curiousity back to life, the writer you want to ask how she got into your head, how she knew your heart so well. A good writer gives a soul what it is starving for.
