Foggy Hilltop [Haiku]

foggy hilltop:
something moves,
striped by trunks.

PROMPT: Screen Time

How do you manage screen time for yourself?

Keep moving. One can’t be zombified by the machine when one is swimming, running, or otherwise getting a move on.

PROMPT: Physical Exercise

What is your favorite form of physical exercise?

I’m a big fan of them all. I like to move it, move it.

Each in its time.

Though the less special equipment I need access to, the better. I’m a firm believer that one needs only the body and mind to keep a fit body. It’s all a matter of how, how often, how intensely, and how safely one moves one’s body. Gadgety fitness can become too fetishist, and not build integration of the body as much as is ideal.

PROMPT: Hobby or pastime

What is your favorite hobby or pastime?

Swimming, at the moment.

PROMPT: Relax

Daily writing prompt
How do you relax?

Tai Chi, Chai Tea, the usual suspects.

PROMPT: Health and Well-Being

Daily writing prompt
What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?

Move my body. Eat my veggies. Feel gratitude regularly. Do not stick my hand down the garbage disposal. Surrender to my ignorance.

PROMPT: One Simple Thing

Daily writing prompt
Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.

A walk in the park. Most things in life are no walk in the park, but you can’t say that about a walk in the park.

Something Moves [Haiku]

something moves
through the tall grass --
mystery rump & ears.
