Transcript
Pushkin. What it takes to feed the soul. What it takes to feed the soul takes a lot. We feed the soul by feeding the spirit. When the spirit do things that we ask them to do, we have to pay them back. So there are certain things that the spirit can't do. Can't eat, can't drink, can't have sex, can't sing, and can't dance.
