When I am in the dunes it is so full that my verbal/analytic skills recede into the background and what I take in does not get passed onto others.

Junior High & High School students should be able to ride to city buses in the summer months for free or at a reduced rate to the beach and the Paul H. Douglas Nature Center with their school ID. on Gary Public Transportation anywhere the buses run Hammond , East Chicago , Merrillville, Highland & Griffith & Porter county if a route is ever established. I'm sure there is federal funding to support it and Casino dollars. The ruthless tyrants do not care about the children!

After having taken a train to Purdue University, I never thought to see such lovely spots in Indiana (I'm from New York/Pennsylvania and have a bias toward hills and forest. :)).Slywyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01424323662407341123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6054903106641591938.post-39335428922067480532012-11-02T13:26:22.599-07:002012-11-02T13:26:22.599-07:00I love your writings Michael.

I almost live for it now that I have retired. They are such natural companions for total physical and mental fitness....almost the yin and yang of each other. Both are very egotistical...which I am sure some of my friends will say fits me...you center in the here and now...live totally in the present moment...enraptured by the rhythm of the movement, the exertion of an isolated muscle group, focused on the totality of each synaptic gap as it screams at you. SWIMMING: Allowing the water to cradle us, our body rolling with each new stroke, feeling the rhythm of our breathing, the pull of our arms and the rush of the kicks, completing a cycle of being one with the water. YOGA: Finding the body that you lost touch with after living together all these years. Having the patience to endure the journey of each muscle as it finds its place in you. Breathing...remembering that with each breath we exchange parts of us with new elements of nature, continuing in ourselves the process of renewal that is shared in every aspect of the great universe of life. With each pose, joining together the tangled mass of muscle and nerve tissue, allowing your body to find its center, physically at a minimum, and with any luck finding harmony with that same deep breathing, as you did swimming, to be one with yourself and your personal concept of the universe, God as you know it, or most simply "being here now."OldNavyDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424508799864494898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6054903106641591938.post-41293878949787338422012-04-24T13:35:27.561-07:002012-04-24T13:35:27.561-07:00Very nice, Michael.
