"It makes me feel like writing poetry / When I do a hundred situps or three"

Mens Sana in Corpore Sano When I do a hundred situps or two I feel a bright spark of hope burning through When depressed or distressed I seek that burn Of exercise so that my mind can learn The truth a disciplined body can teach Mens sana in corpore sano: each Part of the person contributes in kind A sound body enables a sound mind Out of all my trials I realize That my best medicine is exercise Even though I may never be wealthy My abdominal muscles are healthy Hard abs are honest-earned and I have learned That by exercising and being kind In a tough-love kind of way every day To my body I can enrich my mind It makes me feel like writing poetry When I do a hundred situps or three +Steven Curtis Lance ...son of a USMC DI (can you tell?)

I agree. There's nothing like the natural high that I feel when I get off my bike after cycling around the mountain. Here's to adrenaline and endorphins. Thank you, Stevie. Love and peace,
