Solitude

Comfortable?

Leaden Paralysis is a psychiatric term.

If your thought patterns & attitudes, your very sense of self, could be altered by medication, there seems little room in the equation for the soul.

The Christian existentialist conclusion is that the soul is that which chooses.

Malfunctioning receptors may sap or boost your energy. Chemical fluctuations may create a racket in your head. But you can choose your words & actions.

Choose to reject the Voice of Doom.

MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT MY THOUGHTS ~Kathleen Founds

Pneuma prothymon, hē de sarx asthenēs.

  • Pneuma: to breathe; the human spirit, inner disposition.
  • Prothymon: willing, eager, ready.
  • Sarx: flesh – physical body, or human nature in its frailty.
  • Asthenēs: weak / without strength.

“The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Mark 14:38)

Here they sat at a social breakfast table–all of the same calling, all of kindred tastes–looking round as sheepishly at each other as though they had never been out of sight of some sheepfold among the Green Mountains.

Coffee drinking in the morning is what makes getting up in the morning such a pleasure, makes life worth living. And coffee gets one moving, and you know: moving is good for you.
