failing, learning, loving

What is Real HEALTH????

health
could mean:
never get sick

and a good path
toward that is two of
the things Mom should have told us:
get good
sleep
and
go outside and play

and the third
and this is to
NEVER
get sick:
eat raw
foods

Mom probably didn't tell us that,
though she hopefully pushed
bananas and carrots and celery our way


Anyway:
another version of health
is
a Feldenkrais definition:
springing back from setbacks

can be physical:
get sick
then get well fast

can be emotional:
get whacked by someone's unkindness
or insensitivity
or just plain forgetting that we
want to be as important as we want to be

and springing back


can be
life path:
setting out to do a business
or a project
and various
rejection/ failure along
the way:
and picking ourselves up and
going
do
with the show

good


and spiritual:
setting out to be present
or loving
or whatever
failing
and getting back to it
instead of trashing ourselves
for "failing" "again"

la,
la

easier
to write/ give
this advice

than
sometimes to remember it,
myself
