#gym stats!

I was going to do an hour but this is supposed to be my recovery week and I’m already exceeding what the app suggests.

Middle path. I’m so tired of pushing into injury and losing progress so I’m trying to be smart AND dedicated.

Slow and steady wins the race. Boy did my ancestors learn that the hard way. No one has ever let us forget it. 🐇

@NiveusLepus

be kind to your body. think of it as a living creature, with limitations.

sometimes a break is beneficial, more beneficial than pushing your limits.

@holon42 The earliest thing I can remember concretely outside of disparate images, and untethered moments, was the realization that I was within a room inside my mind, and that I was and am separate from my body. That I was different from it

I'm explaining this with the benefit of about 38 years of reflection and understanding, it was much more primal at the time

I am locked inside this biological machine and as I've aged, I've come to understand it's not its fault. So I try to take care of it

@NiveusLepus

suffering does make the body seem like a trap, machine,

but there are states of consciousness, when our precious creators, our living cells reach out beyond itself, to touch the universe in a grain of sand and eternity in a wild flower.

the Platonically influenced and Christianized image of body as a "tomb" of mind is an ancient and compelling image for reasons, now become "machine".
