Life on Life's Terms
Stretch
I went to my office and sat down. My back stiffened after just a minute in my
chair. The night before I had run
through my usual workout. What I hadn't
done was the stretching exercises my doctor, chiropractor, and physical
therapist had all recommended.
The pain in my back reminded me of the
anger I saw on social media. People on
both sides of any argument tended to go over the same ground again and again,
just as I completed the same workout again and again. Their argument, like my body, might be
strengthened by the repetition, but both would become rigid, and not easily
adapted to new positions.
I decided it was time to stretch both my
mind and my body. I went online looking
for something a little bit different from what I usually read.
Today I will stretch my mind.

Epilogue II
To everyone's amazement,
Ubutu took over the brick factory when his parents retired. He turned over a multi-billion dollar empire
over to a colleague so he could make bricks from clay. People who knew him well said he never looked
happier.
Today
I will remember I may have to let of something good to get something better.
