Reading, documentary films, film in general, transcending my material form, continuing my education, loving my lover, learning skills, kissing, snuggling, cooing at babies, having a glass of wine while I make dinner, singing to myself, sleeping indulgently and deeply, warmth, finding new information online, new ideas, psychology, graphic design, book design, typefaces and calligraphy, drama, theatre, music of all sorts, vocal stylings, the country, the city, the suburbs -- objectively, water and lake michigan, anthropology and geology, elements that behave in the same way at much different scales, overcoming my cat allergies, shamanism, bees and the hexagon, space and time, philsophy, ancient cultures, smells and memory, people of all sorts.
