  4. After reading the title and the first lines about the heart flower lifting weights reminds me of the pastime of thinking and knowing that it is very much exercise. You take it to another level Bob with the heart and the weight that love can cause, a heaviness followed by a lightness, then a heaviness and so on see-saw the heart.

    1. Thanks Steve. I went back and tried to tidy this one up a bit. I agree, this one was about thinking as exercise and trying to look at things that aren’t easy to wrap your head around. Still might needs some more work.

      1. It’s strange that some people see meditation or sitting around and thinking as lazy. I forget what book I was reading (maybe Escape From Freedom by Erick Fromm), but the author emphasized that thinking is absolutely exercise, a gift given to us humans.

      3. I gotta get me one of those Buddha statues with him and his big belly smiling eternal! I think they have him in China town here. When it gets a little warmer, I’ll head over there. Holy crap is it cold today. I walked for like 30 minutes and got what my brother calls “the booger freeze.”

      7. Thanks Bob. I just checked out the preview and it looks very unique, interesting and what not and former pitcher eccentric Bill Lee is in it. I hope it comes to the theaters here. I haven’t been to a movie house in a long time. Have a great day! Stay warm.

      8. I hope it comes to theaters here too. Though I doubt it cause Buffalo usually doesn’t get openings for smaller movies. But I will look for it when it streams.

      9. I like all the movie channels on tv now or smart tv’s, but I also remember asking Sarah Western to see a James Bond movie at the local movie house which turned out to be a mistake because after the movie, us outside in the summer whatever sky and I felt like a loser in comparison to Bond and because of that macho Bond stuff and stupid me I never took the dive into saying something romantic and inching over for a kiss which was doubly stupid on my part because Sarah wasn’t a snob, not at all……I was just too shy. Dammit.

      10. I agree, there’s something about going to the movies, the dark, the sound, the popcorn. I can’t tell you how many times I was to shy to try something romantic.

      11. I often daydream of a spontaneous kiss with a stranger in a bus cabin, but it never happens and more likely, metaphorically is the puddle splashing my paints, but love is worth it and though i sound like a Levi’s commercial, it’s true on my deathbed that love is worth it.
