Feast on kindness, and fast from sarcasm.
Feast on compassion, and fast from holding grudges.
Feast on patience, and fast from anxiety.
Feast on peace, and fast from stirring up needless conflict.
Feast on acceptance, and fast from judgment.
Feast on joy, and fast from jealousy.
Feast on faith, and fast from fear.
Feast on creativity, and fast from all that deadens our souls.
Feast on social justice, and fast from negligence of the most vulnerable.
Feast on service to others, and fast from selfishness.
Feast on delight, and fast from despair.
Feast on bread and wine in spiritual communion, and fast from all that keeps us from communing deeply with each other and with God.
Feast and fast, that our lives might be sufficient, fulfilled, complete, whole, enough.
