Poetry Sunday

Good Sunday morning, Dear Readers! As we put up with the noise of our neighbors firing off the last (hopefully) of their remaining fireworks, let us ponder, as Hal Sirowitz suggests, an unexpected benefit of an active lifestyle ...

The Benefits of an Active Lifestyle

by Hal Sirowitz

You seem to like things the most

if you can do them while you're sitting,

Father said. It doesn't seem like it's

the books you're reading that give

you pleasure, but that you read them

while you're sitting down. You

get most of your satisfaction from doing

things that require very little physical effort.

It's not that your brain needs to be filled

with new facts, but that you have grown

accustomed to being lazy. You can learn

just as much from being active. And since

that'll put you with other active people,

none of them will have the time to sit down

& read a book to prove that the information you got was wrong.

And aren't we all awash in wrong information nowadays?

Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. More thoughts coming.
