soul nourishment:
small moments out of doors.
breath.
awareness.
reaching out to others.
getting quiet.
writing across the page.
a short gaze at the bright full-ish moon overhead at dawn.
noticing the quality of color and light change.
reading for the sheer act of it.
creating handmade cards.
sitting outside right after awakening.
cool trees swaying in the breeze.
cloud breaks full of rising-sun colors.
by doing these we return to our center
we restore inner balance
these all soften us so that we can embrace others
feeling fortified on the inside makes us more beautiful on the outside, makes our behavior lovelier
we are made more whole, and thus, more loving
