so it's muscular

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2013.10.08

Today I learned from my physiotherapist that a long-standing discomfort I've been putting up with is not a side effect of a surgery I had six months ago, but of a lifetime of slothful lazing about in front of computers. It turns out that some muscles that connect my spine with my legs have become shortened and tensed up.

To demonstrate, he stuck his fingers down into my belly, past the flabby muscles and internal organs, and started probing the muscles that line the inside of my back. Ooof!

A civilization is a heritage of beliefs, customs, and knowledge slowly accumulated in the course of centuries, elements difficult at times to justify by logic, but justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere, since they open up for man his inner distance.

—Antoine de Saint-Exupery
