food for the soul

When I love my God
 there is a light,
 voice,
 odor, 
food,
 embrace of my innerness,
 where my soul is floodlit by light which space cannot contain,
where there is sound that time cannot seize, 
where there is perfume which no breeze disperses,
 where there is a taste for food no amount of eating can lessen,
 where there is a bond of union that no satiety can part.
 That’s what I love when I love my God.
(St. Augustine)
