This is very good advice.

I am going to take this to heart.

I need major change and I know just what it is.
I need to reclaim my physical existence before I experience complete atrophy.
I will make it happen.

I will become the change! Yes!

Thank you, oGloriousOne!

The natives have not yet learned from the white man his inventions for traveling away from the present, hs scientific capacity for analyzing warmth into a chemical substance, for abstracting human-beings into symbols. The white man has invented glasses which make objects too near or too far, cameras, telescopes, spyglasses, objects which put glass between living and vision. It is the image he seeks to possess, not the texture, the living warmth, the human closeness.

First thing I heard yesterday on Morning Edition. They said that in times of trouble

warm
becoming
slowly unbecoming
in or out
of love

For love... has two faces; one white, the other black; two bodies; one smooth, the other hairy. It has two hands, two feet, two tails, two, indeed, of every member and each one is the exact opposite of the other. Yet, so strictly are they joined together that you cannot separate them.
Virginia Woolf

We are the dead. Our only true life is in the future. We shall take part in it as handfuls of dust and splinters of bone. But how far away that future may be, there is no knowing. It might be a thousand years. At present nothing is possible except to extend the area of sanity little by little. We cannot act collectively. We can only spread our knowledge outwards from individual to individual....

George Orwell, 1984
