    the most impoverished are those whose minds are not nourished adequately

    In his Gulistan, the Persian classic, Sheik Saadi of Shiraz says in tales 36 of the chapter on the manners of dervishes (= the poor ones):

    ‘Like a bachelor before the women’s bathhouse
    door, I face the table, hungry for food.’

    From ‘The Sufis’ by Idries Shah, p.100).

    Tēnā kōrua Kouji and Mediterranean Kiwi!

    I guess what's needed really is a balanced diet - food for thought?
