About Mike Johson
I wonder what Mike Johnson would think if he knew that *I* contrived a blog called
MusclePower. And if he knew that I use actually to spend many of my mornings in a gym, lifting weighs. For years I warned him about the enormous *danger* of these pursuits. Now, it is when I am at my machines, lifting weighs, that I feel safest. In this city where danger is everywhere, it certainly *is not*particularly at the gym, a small dose of good sense being kept.
MusclePower has plenty of methaphorical senses here. I hope to exploit them in due time. But for me it does have a very literal one too. Last year I found out that I have a good skeleton (no osteoporosis). The literal and the methaphorical meanings of this were very pleasant to me. If bipolarity is unavoidable, a good skeleton can be helpful. Now I want strong literal & methaphorical muscles. Again, the unavoidable bipolarity will be thahkful.
(Subtle, not conspicuous muscles, of course. I'm a Lady, not a Madonna.)
Body
is psyche; psyche
is body, in spite all Descartes may have said or implied. I'm reinventing the wheel, of course, since the ancient Romans used already to proclaim this common-place. Till now, I'm afraid, I just reinvented ideas. Never had a brand new one. (Hope never dies.)
And back I go to my last translation round of the day.
Ah, I don't expect anybody -- not even you, Mark -- to read all my
babble here! Why do I write? I don't know for sure.
(If it were *just* for me I would not be publishing my writing. Perhaps to write makes more sense for me when it is like a letter-in-a-bottle-thrown-at-the-sea.)
