I enjoy walking a few miles while juggling each day after
breakfast. They say
exercise is good for the heart, body and soul. I would hope a
pancreas has an opportunity to communicate with each cell in a
body during this inner period. I certainly communicate with my
neighborly earth inhabitants. Yet, often, I mindlessly
move feet and hands while I pose a new math exercise, rehearse
a lecture or drift in the warm sun light or wish on a star, particularly
those in my family. Two miles is a long
distance in steps or even feet. But any path
that amounts to two miles of walking and juggling is worth a smile or
two.
My Yang long form practice is often done at the end of the day.

smile watching me play Tai Chi.

I find Mihaly Csikszentimihalyi's flow to be a good way to look
at living from the psychology side yet all other views help.
