Exercise. Think. Feel.
Where are the fast food restaurants for the mind? Where are the 24 hour fitness clubs for the soul? They do not exist. But why not? We understand intrinsically that the body is a passive presence and that we cannot simply will it to be stronger. We understand that we must continuously perform actions that will, over time, induce subtle change in our body’s state.
Why, then, is it so hard to grasp that the mind and spirit move in the same ways? Why is it so hard to fathom that, to become capable of mind, to become strong of will, to overcome desire and habit, to undo cyclic depression, to grow our spirit and mind, we must think and want in ways that our passive minds and passive spirits are shifted into a more healthy state?
Exercise often. Think with direction. Feel happiness.

Michael,
I found you and the link to this site from Authoress’s mention of the work you did on automating her blog’s contest submission process. It’s obvious she’s impressed and grateful.
I must tell you that this is one of the most beautiful websites I’ve even seen. If you created it yourself, you are truly a genius. If I only had a fraction of your talent, my site would rock.

Thanks for stopping by ; ) I did create the layout. But I’m much more proud of this one: http://www.havenshade.com

Michael,
Very cool, helping out The Authoress! I did one critique thing on my blog and can’t imagine doing it for 200 entries…
In regards to your post…I think churches and museums are places for our minds and spirits to exercise.

Found you via the Authoress as well, and I agree with her: you rock!
I don’t tweet (yet … kicking and screaming my way toward it), but I saw your tweet about needing a writing goal partner. I’m game! My CP would love someone to assist her in kicking my butt into writing on a more consistent basis!
