Muscle is very needed these days.
By me and by all of us. Listening to Anthony Romero (the head of the ACLU) on the New Yorker Radio Hour was both inspiring and exhausting. He spoke about all the challenges they are putting up against the illegal power grabs of the new administration - immigration, cancellation of allocated government funding, and first and foremost the threat to birthright citizenship. He said we have to be like "water on stone" a constant steady drip against a wall of granite.
For me it's also the reality that I literally need to start using my muscles and build more muscles in order to save my bones. So back to walking it is and every day. No more aching back from sitting at the computer all day.
Using muscles, ligaments, and bones together in weight bearing movement is protective and builds strength. As much as I was laser focused on research for the last five years, this will have to be my new laser focus for... let's see, the next...well the rest of my life. Just like the steady drip of rain breaking down a mountain - I need to build back up.
Grateful for muscles and the need to keep them limber - what a metaphor for life.
What are you grateful for today?
