Nourishment

What really nourishes us? I'm not talking about food, but a lovely meal certainly can be nourishing; I'm thinking about experiences or states of being that really nourish or refresh. So much of modern life is stimulating, flashy, and ultimately leaves us hungry, searching for more stimulation, for the next buzz.  I'm thinking about places like the beach, or deep in the woods, where we can connect deeply with our inner selves, and feel a deep connection, a true nourishment. Walking along a sparkling brook, stopping in the sunshine to soak up the moment, that is the kind of experience I look for on the weekend to refresh my spirit, so I can continue through the workweek. What do you find that is truly nourishing?
