33rd year project
I started my birthday with a 6am workout and sauna with my dear friend Christopher. What a start! Reflecting on my last several years, surrounded by superhot steam, I realized that I suffer from one serious problem - a terrible memory. Let me qualify that by saying that I have a terrific memory for herbs, herbal formulas, patient details, random trivia, scientific facts and so on - but not so for my own life. What I do remember are things that I marked in some way - usually through photos, music or something similar.
So, in a project that is likely to falter, I give you the 33rd year project.
I will be trying to memorialize each day with a blog post here (or sometimes at Deepest Health). It may be short, may be long, but will certainly include some detail from my day. This is mostly for me, but in this age of over-disclosure, why not share it with everyone? I will be particularly interested in finding songs that powered me through the day, photos that capture the essence of a day, short pithy statements I hear or say, passages from books or movies that I find to be particularly instructive, Yijing readings, favorite meals and so on.
It's one of those thoroughly modern, vaguely ridiculous, expressions of Self-ness that I will probably come to laugh at in my later years. For now, on this day, after that lovely sauna - it sounds great.
For now, for today, I give you Beck who serenaded me with this song as I drove through the dawn light from my gym, celebratory birthday pear on the dashboard and dreams of Edgefield in my mind. This is from his recent album, The Information - the song is called New Round.

That just didn't quite work out the way I expected it would. However, I have been posting somewhere almost every day. :)
