How is navigating my day a delightfully physical event? A physical event that is not just making it to the gym and doing my workout,  but is an ongoing doing that has meaning in unfolding my life? So if this sounds a bit obtuse let me explain. I have a gang busters raspberry crop this year and in mid July I still have great greens in my garden–and yesterday I noticed that I also have my first batch of green beans to pick! So my early morning was spent picking raspberries, harvesting lettuce, picking green beans—and of course tending to all my perennials—watering, deadheading, admiring! This is the somatic life–doing something physically that supports my daily life, is distinctly enjoyable and  has a wholebody payoff.
