Random Wining

Why did I have all sorts of aches and pains yesterday? The run, which was a little more intense than I've done in awhile? Or the chia? Wouldn't think the chia would do something like that. Or maybe just one of those random things. Seems better today.

I find sometimes that I'm quite a slave to things that I have little control over. Need to work to have health insurance, but what does that really get me? Is it really any kind of security?

I see all sorts of things that are wrong with this world, but most of the time I feel pretty helpless to do anything that really makes any kind of difference, even when it comes to living the kind of life that I would like to live.

I see the excelleration of our collision with nature only increasing. We are in free fall, and that can get going pretty fast.

I like Obama well enough, but what's facing us now has been brewing for over 10,000 years, the time when we decided that we no longer had to live by the same rules that the rest of nature lives by. See where that has gotten us. Some people point to all the successes of Taker culture, but I think those successes mean nothing if Taker culture is nearly dead because of its path of self destruction.

I'm more and more seeing eyeglasses as orthotics for the eyes. And I've already seen how valid orthotics for the feet are.

Why would we evolved as such a myopic species? I suspect that we are no longer using our eyes the way evolution intended. Is there a way to change habits so that they are less myopic? It kind of sucks that I like to read so much.

I saw some cicada shells this morning. That can only be bad news in terms of future morning runs. Once again, it will be time to face that fear.
