When I had breakfast with Erynn last week, she inspired me to generate a list of the things that feed my soul. Here goes.
* Walking and finding other people's gardens in bloom
* Writing
* Writing poems that no one else will read
* Feeling a grandchild lean into me
* Listening to music
* Sitting on the front porch and watching the moon rise while enjoying night fragrances--white petunias, white nicotiana, the white blossoms on my crabapple tree
* Sitting on the porch swing with my cat Enzo
* Hearing a cat purr
* Stretching out like a cat in the sun
* Walking the dogs through the cemetery
* Running barefoot
* Knitting a baby blanket
* Walking with friends before the sun comes up
* Listening to the sounds of a baseball game
* Sitting in the ballpark on a summer's evening and watching the mountains to the southeast turn blue
* Enjoying the sounds of a summer night--crickets, sprinklers, a motorcycle in the distance somewhere
* Going on drives with Ken Cannon
* Roaming through local nurseries
* Cracking open a cold can of Dr Pepper
I could keep going but I need some Dr Pepper now. What feeds you?

I think reading your poems would feed me. :)
Yes! I love all of this.
And your words!
And actual food. Together.
