It seems injuries incurred by the athletic pursuits of my youth still choose to revisit me now and again, as I’ve been sidelined for the last couple of days by some inexplicable knee pain, intense enough to keep me basically bedridden, unable to walk. I am on the mend, however, as I’m able to put weight on it now and am hoping the worst is over. Perhaps too much running, too much dancing, too much living has brought me here, but I wouldn’t take it back. Perhaps being more conscious of my limitations would have saved me this discomfort, but then would I have ever surpassed those limitations (and enjoyed the resultant elation)? I think not. Spanish philosopher George Santayana said, "The simple life is good, but the best life is a complicated one”. Those complications have brought me here and I like where I am, so this current obstacle is just another to overcome in order to keep going. Perhaps I dance more slowly now, but that doesn’t mean I can’t still dance. Here's some more (US) morning mellow. #NMM #Day869 #sway #funk #boombap #hednod #youthfulmind
