I arrived here serendipitously, as I am guessing many of your readers do. I read your piece through from beginning to end, even reading the comments. That was unusual for me -- to read, at a comfortable pace, like I used to many years ago, before things morphed into "the other way of reading". Now I'll have to go back and read it again so as to tighten up those loose connections that I didn't quite grasp (but didn't stick around the paragraph long enough to firm up the concepts). Your piece even coaxed me to add a comment. :-) Your use of food and all of its functions as a means of explanation is clever. The astute commentary from thealphaswarmer has a very good point about Nutrient timing. Coupled with the "right" kind of exercise you can soar to places that you never thought you would ever be able to reach. I've a few more minutes to spare before I have to do the chores. That gives me enough time to wander 'round your blog for a bit. cheers... Luck was with us today. I arrived here serendipitously, as I am guessing many of your readers do.

I've been thinking around similar concepts in the nonprofit sector and all the associated campaigns and activities. People have even been feeling like there are too many nonprofits, too many groups, an "overload of good opportunities" and like the people fighting information overload "managers" want to thin the ranks rather than focusing sector wide and society "throughput". thanks again for the riff....

and you are right

if you pay attention to all of this stuff, clearly there is too much … if you pay attention to the self, and realize it gives you exactly what you need when you need it, there is no problem at all, it is just a flowing river on a beautiful day

it’s real simple. enjoy,

Advanced science research into nutrition has showed that its all about TIMING too - at the RIGHT time and RIGHT doses!
