Rules for Life Journey
Keep body and mind well by awareness and discipline
Life is a short journey,
and this one-way trip,
must be savored.
But true enjoyment is feasible,
only when,
the body and mind,
both are well.
and keeping them healthy,
isn’t easy.
So many threats,
swarming around us.
We’ve got to know the rules,
so we can protect,
these vulnerable things.
But do we really know?
Do you really care?
I doubt.
By some wicked spell,
we believe,
chemicals are our allies.
We think,
cancer is just bad luck.
We must change the narrative.
Inflammation is the cause—
Cancer is a symptom.
People are not meant to be perfect,
don’t expect relationships
to give you perpetual joy.
Accept others as flawed—
Just like you.
With the right mindset,
body and mind can thrive—
the life journey can be
fun and enriching.
