The Counsel Of The Wise

I recently finished some counseling which was very helpful, though my problem isn't solved, I'd learned all I could from my counselor. I've been amazed at how many ways it helped me, though my problem still remains, and I began to think, 'imagine what life would be like if I always had a mentor person around'. I bet I'd be a new man within a year.





I was watching "The Empire Strikes Back" today and thought about how Luke had Yoda, and Obi Wan had Qui Gon, etc, and realized I was an apprentice without a master.

It's amazing how different the priorities of the world are. If I could rebuild it, we would have masters and apprentices, knights and padawans. So many mistakes that could be avoided if we only had accountability, an extra person thinking.

I read in Ecclesiastes the other day this line that has been stuck in my head in the whole "two are better than one" passage. King Solomon says "Woe to the one who falls and has no one to help him up".

It Keeps You Runnin'

So when I was at Capernwray I used to run because of the Shema Yisrael which states we are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. It was this and the verse "physical exercise availeth much" in 1st Corinthians. So strangely the most exercise I ever did was religiously motivated rather than for health reasons really, though that was there too.

So I remembered that, and I've been ralking again - run walking. It was always my method. I start running and when I can't breathe I start walking and then when I can breathe again I start running, and repeat. I've felt so much better since I've started though, Endorphins are Mother Nature's heroin.
