Movement and Play

in #wellness8 years ago (edited)

Let's take it back, way back
To when we were kids, when 'workout' wasn't in our vocabulary,
When sunny days meant long, long hours spent outside
Running, jumping, stretching, sprinting, screeching gleefully,
Shamelessly with clear conscience
As beads of sweat reflected off our brows, glowing in the afternoon light.
There were no sets, no reps, no timers, no burn-out sessions,
Yet we squatted, lunged, pushed and pulled, stopping just long enough with hands on knees,
Gasping for breath, exhilarated and grinning from ear to ear.
We moved gracefully in our natural environment, children of nature we were,
Each movement a celebration of the body's profound ability to indulge our desire to move
And take us on adventures to explore our world, to indulge the curious mind.
Let's take it back, way back
To when we were kids, when movement and play were
One and the same.

-A reflection/elaboration on my latest Instagram post over at: https://www.instagram.com/fooddhism/
Let's remember how good it feels to move, because it would be a shame not to celebrate the true capabilities of the body we inhabit.
