O Me! O life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill'd with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew'd,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring-What good amid these, O me, O life?

Answer.
That you are here-that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.


WALT WHITMAN

The Powerful Play goes on. I finished Enter the Zone and have moved on to Mastering the Zone, all of it excellent reading, very insightful. In fact I really did not understand what my Diabetic medicine was actually doing to my body until I read Dr. Spear's notes on the subject. It is amazing what they don't tell you, hehe. But that better understanding should help me significantly, so I hope.
The Zone seems to be the way to go for me, it remains only to put it to the true test. I have been moving my meals towards being zone friendly, but now it's time to do it all the way. As someone who dislikes measuring anything, I need to just buckle down and do that right now, until I get a feel for how much is in a block of everything.
I plan on building a spreadsheet of my numbers and my plans today, and take a look at what else is out there online already built.
Other things I have done in the last couple of weeks:
~finished the last 2 Alex Ryder books: Snakehead & Ark Angel
~watched two movies that are all about HOPE: Slumdog Millionaire & Henry Poole is Here both excellent!
~worked out some, but not consistently. I admit I am having a hard time keeping focused on more than one thing at a time. Anyone else having that issue?
~My Three Rules to Live By are written down. It is really amazing to try to boil down all of life like this, and in such a personal way. What is important in life, to me? I don't propose that I have found anything new or unexpected, but I think each person should make this journey, I have a better feeling about who I am and what purpose there is in my life.
1. Be nice.
2. Forgive.
3. Give Thanks.

Yeah, that's it. They're bigger than they look at first, and filled with terrible complexity and limitless salvation and endless joy and/or sorrow in their execution. I'm afraid I haven't been very good at living by these rules, but today is a new day. And the powerful play goes on...
