On taking a thoughtful risk.

My favorite days. Are the days spent thinking. The whole day. From beginning to end. Wrapped in thought. About all sorts of matters. But mostly about the amazing wonders of  life.  And about how nice it is. To be alive and conscious. And able to think. About virtually anything.  Of course, I don’t have to remain physically idle. While thinking. I’ve mastered the skill. Of walking long distances. While reading a book. Or while immersed in philosophical meanderings. I’ve been warned. That this is a dangerous practice. That I could stumble. Or be hit by a car. But I’m willing to take the risk. In exchange for a good day of exercise and deep reflective thought. –Jim Broede
