Two quotes stand out to me..

“If I love you, what business is it of yours? “-Dong Yi quoting Goethe
And echoing this quote “If I destroy you, what business is it of yours?” -Wallfacer Luo Ji

I’m going to think about this book for awhile, but these quotes are at least tangentially related to a theme one of my favorite poets, Levi The Poet, talked about in the recent past; “Find Out”. Instead of preemptively autofilling responses in conversations with what we assume the other will say, say what you mean/believe and let your conversation partner surprise you by the nuance of their response as well. 

// “How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerors have been: how gloriously different are the saints.” CS Lewis

**I don’t think we can aim to be totally ourselves because we …1 haven’t clearly known or defined our self. &2 are changing constantly.

Maybe the most “ourselves” we can be is when we totally forget. 

I’m still feeling slow and chubby, but I’m hanging onto the maxim Consistently >Intensity. 

I have to be thankful I now have made a little margin to train when for a while I didn’t have it. Regardless fitness; come what may. 

I’m also grateful the days are a little longer every day. Man I had some DARK days last winter, I was super depressed, but I it was a bit of concussion response, sleep deprivation w new baby, job/financial stress, and pining for NC. So far I’ve haven’t gone anywhere near where I was last winter. That’s a victory. 

May you find yours!
