Scott
i love you like a brother
i mean
i still want to have sex with you and all that
but i feel i’ve known you so long
[still…, i would like to meet you]
the last time you and i had a talk about the well-being of your body
you were mr bear alaska
[ i think ]
and going to the gym or something
now
physical excersise is great
BUT
weights need to be balanced by streatching
and diet is very important
blah blah
i always recommend Yoga
i always recommend walking barefoot
these two things are essential
now
when i say “yoga”
i don’t necessarily mean going to classes every day
i studied it for two weeks
and have been doing it ever since on my own
but i was a weak and skrawny kid
so when i hit puberty i learned about pushups
and have been doing SOMETHING ever since
sometimes i forget for weeks on end
and my body suffers for it
but eventually i pick it back up again
yoga means “union”
it’s the act of making yourself one with your body
it sounds funny
but when you start doing yoga your body will hurt a lot more
because all of a sudden you’re using it in ways you haven’t for a long
time
and places you can’t even reach will be sore
but if you listen to the soreness
it is just your body speaking to you
in fact
what you’re feeling now is just your body talking to you
listen to it
streatch out
watch dogs and cats
streatch like they do
play like children do
these things are very alive
and have not forgotten this
have not pretended to be “human” by some strange standards
they listen to their bodies
and the world around them
and do what they need to do
follow suit
listen to yourself
it’s amazing
i’m ok at it
i’ve still got a lot of learning
there is the body
and thoughts
and emotions
and actions
and god
[or whatever, spirit]
they’re all trying to come to balance
it is for you to help them all focus
then life is just peachy
but til then
it’s work
[grin]
so i live
but i enjoy it as best i can
it’s living
right?
check out a book called “the ancient secret of the fountain of youth”
by peter kelder
it’s rather small
[get book one, they’ve published it with a companion volume you don’t
really
nead unless you got extra time and money for it]
and was first published in 1937
so it’s right on the tip of america’s health crayz
but it’s a great biginning yoga practice
that is more like calistenics
so it’s good for your whole system
and fun too
and has some tips about the other areas of health as well
ummmm
i’m heading off to hawaii now
i would love to come see you
but i’m going to europe just after the new years
and don’t know when i’ll be back
i need to wander there
find some things….
i will
of course
always want to visit alaska and visit you there
and
eventually
i will
and when i see ya i’ll teach ya some yoga and attune you to reiki and
give
you some medicine balls and cook you kitchari and make you tea
until then, it’s up to you
take care of yourself, beautiful
be well
[HUGS]
love and warmth to you, kid
