Daily Question, October 5

What feeds my soul?

  • Pilgrim

    Spending time outdoors, especially in a wooded area, in autumn. This has always been my favorite midwest season. Spending time with my family, and whenever possible, in person. Being with a friend – longtime since that happened in person. A really good book. Spotting monarchs and hummingbirds.

    taking care of my body(it is a temple), mediating to connect to my real me, being grateful, embracing my daily walks in nature, fueling my passion of living through music and art and humour either through watching a funny show or telling jokes.

    As a medical student aspiring to be a doctor, knowing that I’m working toward a career in helping people is something that gladdens my heart. It’s tough when I’m doing patient work along with classes, but I stay positive when I keep the bigger picture in mind.The other thing that feeds my soul is Nature and prayer. I’m a big Nature and outer space enthusiast. We are on a rock floating around in the vastness of infinity. The fact that we are even alive at all is a beautiful miracle. Someh...

    As a medical student aspiring to be a doctor, knowing that I’m working toward a career in helping people is something that gladdens my heart. It’s tough when I’m doing patient work along with classes, but I stay positive when I keep the bigger picture in mind.The other thing that feeds my soul is Nature and prayer. I’m a big Nature and outer space enthusiast. We are on a rock floating around in the vastness of infinity. The fact that we are even alive at all is a beautiful miracle. Somehow, prayer makes me feel connected and more even of mind. It helps me to be in the moment, to be optimistic about the moment, and that life is full of good.

    Family gatherings, meeting new neighbors, loving on my dog, studying the Bible together with others, working in my yard while ruminating on sermons, conversations, memories, hopes, imaginations and plans, traveling – especially road trips, but really anything that takes me to the beach or mountains, a walk in the woods, sitting by a lake, and I’m beginning some art and photography classes that seem like they might feed my soul as well.

    Gratefully meeting and sharing with friends and family; the beauty of nature and natural, heartfelt expressions of joy; music for sure, too; this generous site, fostering gratefulness, honesty, hope, peace and most of all, Love in all its expressions; caring for others and myself also; more and more it is fed by meditation and prayer.

  • Howie Geib

    The stories I tell myself all day everyday. They are the theme or background music of my life. So it is important that I make conscious choices about which ‘Playlist’ I chose to listen to. There is great benefit for me in routine use of prayer. Regular times, regular structure. Patterns that have been established for centuries and seem to weave a grounded connection to my values and support my spirit. Beauty of all kinds. So I look for it in everything.

    Being out on the water with my teammates rowing, photography, being with my family and exercising my faith as a Quaker all contribute to feeding my soul.

    What feeds my soul is the practice of love. Coming back to the present moment with mindfulness feeds my soul because it anchors my awareness to what is actually happening. Often when my mind is adrift it clings to something or some notion and creates a whole story about it. The mind being adrift in and of itself isn’t bad or good in and of itself from its own side. What is important here is what it is feeding my soul. Coming back to the here and the now with loving kindness and compassion ...

      Thank you for this. Awareness is such a key factor for staying on track.

    • Present Moment

      You express it well. Where else can my soul be fed but in the present moment ? The food is gratitude for all the miraculous expressions of energy manifestation I help to create only in being part of the whole.

    • Katrina

      Thank you for reminding me of what my soul needs as well as what makes it feel good. I need to practice presence is a very real way.

  • Lioness

    Love and laughter, the thought of new opportunities for me and my family and friends. The joy of simply being alive and having the chance to live this day with a smile on my face. I am feeling food this morning and my soul is bursting with gratitude, thank you.

    • Kevin

      Beautiful, and perfect, Lioness. Thank you. “Love and laughter,” we could all live on that for sure!

    • Antoinette
