Coming of Age in the Aquarian

Late, later, latest

Journal Entry Date: 21 Sept 2004

Thought for the Day: "...reciting epic Greek poetry such as Homer's ILIAD and ODYSSEY actually seems to be good for the heart--at least according to a new study by a team of European researchers. It all has to do with breathing patterns and their relationship to cardiac rhythms. It turns out that reciting poetry--especially verse like Homer's that follows a specific rhythm called hexameter--makes an excellent breathing exercise...The result [is] an increase in the synchronization of certain cardiorespiratory patterns that are believed to be favorable to the long-term prognosis of cardiac patients..." ("Does Poetry Make the Heart Grow Stronger?", TIME Magazine, August 2, 2004)

Brought to eye/mind today: [You're] "late." I was five minutes later than usual arriving at work (we have flex time; I flex it) today. It seemed I heard the word late a couple of times. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't.

Thank you, Lord, for this workday done.

Journal:

• An undertone of emotion today. Personalities showing strongly, mine included. One going on vacation, so others must fill in; no one wants to spare the time.


• Started a digital workup of the painting I'll be doing next. Still not done with the current one.


• At this writing, realized it's the Fall equinox.
