After a few days of what I will euphemistically call an intestinal inconvenience, as well as a deluge of thoughts ranging from naggingly worrisome to sublimely creative, I have concluded that humans have two digestive tracts. Of course, there is the one in the gut, and there is another one in the brain. I call this one the “cerebowels”. Both of these digestive systems require a certain amount of maintenance if they are to run properly. What we put in our mouths and our heads can have significant consequences. We put stuff in, let it digest to extract the nourishment, then we expect to eliminate the waste in a safe and convenient manner. This becomes more of a challenge as the joys of the aging process take control. This is, at least for me, what writing is for. After all, that shit has got to go somewhere, doesn’t it?
Think carefully about what you decide to feed your body and your mind. Make the effort to cultivate a healthy, smooth I running system.
Stay regular, my friends, in body mind, and spirit..
