It
seems to me
that
our three basic needs,
for
food and security and love,
are
so mixed and mingled and entwined
that
we cannot straightly think
of
one without the others.
So
it happens that
when
I write of hunger,
I
am really writing about love
and
the hunger for it,
and
warmth
and
the love of it
and
the hunger for it…
and
then the warmth
and
the richness
and
fine reality of hunger is satisfied
…and
it is all one.*
…And it seems to me that Thinking/speaking/writing with this sensibility just might change the world
