No this has not a thing to do with being without food in the house, even after Larry had returned and we had to go and buy groceries. Rather, it has to do with those empty spaces we sometimes feel when we first awake in the morning, or think about just before we go to bed at night. More like brain food…
Empty Cupboards
Where once there were cupboards
Teeming with an abundance,
There now appear to be empty shelves,
Devoid of sustenance –
Necessities for body, mind and soul.
Our very existence depends on sustenance,
As we journey from cradle to grave –
Physical needs – food, water, exercise.
Emotional needs – loving, caring, affection, security.
Spiritual needs – faith and understanding.
Empty shelves need to be re-stocked from time to time,
Putting into play a variety of factors
Over which we may or may not have control.
While self-reliance may accomplish this,
Our emotional and spiritual need
May require assistance from others.
And just possibly, Divine Intervention.
Only then can the human cupboard be replenished.
