How do WE tell ourselves: Hey, I STILL LOVE YOU!
I Ask this every moment when:
I sit if I am with the right posture. And if my posture has been neglected and Therefore has become 'not-right' then isn't the question: WHY and when did I begin to Neglect my Own Body?
But Wait! Our bodies are VERY Forgiving. They know we screw up in our lives a lot so they have an open and friendly heart to Correct our mistakes. I say this as one with an eight decades old skeleton which is able to brisk-walk 40 minutes in one go; walk up 13 floors in my apartment, panting heavily thru the last five and never even bothering to care what floor I am, Because? C'mmon, having lived many decades on this earth-with-gravity, isn't EXERTION is Pleasure?
Maybe we forgot what we knew when we were 3 or 5 yr old, but really how else we wud have learnt to Stand Up if not falling endlessly on our bums but rising again? I LOVE our body-wisdom...we couldn't have made it w/o it ...even to teenage!
But where are MY Friends, U ask?
Maybe they will appear when we approach them with sincerity-in-our behavior. Like minded attract each other; birds of feather flock TOGETHER. And Yet I don't either.
That's ONE area I pine for...striving Everyday to find my flock. It did not work what I had planned for yesterday, but I hope (for Hope I can't NOT have) my plan for the next week will. After all, what's the choice? Doesn't the toddler-in-us tells us so!
March onward, My friend...with me in this hard-but-hopeful LAST effort of our life.
