The Changes

Despite my drive to help free other living beings from their cages, I myself spend a significant portion of my time inside a box. It doesn't matter that this box is big enough to live, cook, eat, sleep, and even dance in - I want to spend more time outside of it!

I'm not sure what a realistic goal will be - make sure that at least once a week I spend half my daylight hours outside? That sounds about right. Does it matter if it's raining, snowing, hailing, or even perilously hot? I think I can proceed with caution, yes, but I think being outside is paramount. Spending most of life indoors...just isn't fully living!

And it will be even better if I bring someone along! Perhaps we'll start with the two of us, then expand from there! Who wants to go hiking?

I want to get more exericse to be healthier physically and mentally. I want to get outside and enjoy hiking and biking in my neighborhood. I want to regularly attend a yoga class. I want regular exercise to be a catalyst for better overall health.

Mostly it's my journey I wish to connect with others, in doing so I wish to effect change in myself and them and the world around me... maybe save a few animals, a rainforest, a way of indeginous life, our species along the way??
