When you have reached the age of 77, as
I have, the flesh and blood box in which you are trapped regularly
reminds you that you have passed your “Best Before” date and are
approaching your final “Sell By” date. You also are aware that
there are so many things you would like to do and there is not enough
time or energy left to do more than a few of them. If you start
worrying about it you can get stressed and as a result even less gets
done. The last thing I intend to do is end up as a couch potato watching the TV all day.
A bad spell over the last few months
meant that this blog dried up – but the cheerful Spring weather has
revitalized me. At least my plans to keep physically fit are going
well. In the last 12 months I have lost nearly 15kg through eating sensibly
- no formal diet – just a bigger variety of healthy foodstuffs, smaller portions, less between meal nibbles, and regular
exercise.
I also need to keep my brain active and
I am combining my walks with photography – using the activities of
the Tring Camera Club as a framework for new ideas. So to compliment “Trapped by
the Box” I plan a weekly post “Captured by the Camera”. These
postings will act as a kind of metronome – as between each one I
will try and include at least one posting related to CODIL,
evolution, or brain research and another on the ways we, and society
as a whole, are trapped in mental boxes of many different kinds.
