Extremes of body and mind

Practiced

Studied

Experienced

And lived

There must be a middle way

Between bodybuilding

And obesity

Between Philosophy

And depression

With physical therapy

And psychology

As moderate forms

Of being

And thinking

This way must be balanced

Via increased activity

And portion control

Via meditation

And mindfulness

What I’ve seen

And what I’ve been

Are extremes of behavior

There must be a middle way

That I can think

Feel

Live and breathe

      The in between is loving the skin your in and having no regrets. Love your mindset.

        Loving the skin your in. I like it. Some days it’s easier than others. Unfortunately sometimes I relate how I feel in my skin to the lyrics in Nirvana’s “SLTS”. It goes “I feel stupid and contagious here we are now entertain us”. Love that song. Trying to move away from that way of relating to myself. Thanks for your comment Rich!!

    It sounds like you already have it, keep going in that wonderful direction Paul. What you’re saying is powerful.
