Entry: Sobering Thoughts Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/sobering_thoughts#26522 Post contents: <I>That means no bread, </I> Mr. Cundiff. Fr.Peter Williams, in a Homily at Mass at St. Mary's in Springfield, Vt had this to say: "If anyone tries to tell you your diet should not include bread, do not listen to them. They are agents of the devil." He was sorta kidding - I think. Also, it blows my mind that a member of The LOTS would walk inside on a treadmill. Walking outside (Your Bride can answer the Rosary) leads to joy and it makes it easier to lift one's mind to God. You are in the South, right? Go out early. Smell the night jasmine, the orange blossoms, the oleanders; in the silence hear your feet strike the foot path; hold hands with The Bride; make her laugh: look-up at the morning sky; watch as the last few remaining blushing stars try to hide from being stared at;watch that great artist,the sun,wake and paint the morning clouds in remarkable pastels; grab The Brides ass and make her giggle. "Honey, somebody could be watching..." Eat bread. Go outdoors, but never to exercise. Do it for the sheer joy of being alive outdoors and alone with the one you love. There will be plenty of time for you two to go your separate ways and do your work for the day but your morning walk may be the very last walk you ever have. Do you really want your last walk to be on a machine? Alone? Indoors? Watching TV? I'd rather eat a rice cake and then die. Sent at: 2008 09 06
