Pumping Spiritual Iron

Last week I was in the gym, which isn't anything new-but-what is new, is that I pushed more weight than I had in a few years, which had me thinking about the kinesiology concept of S.A.I.D. or Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands and "muscle memory."

 

I've been marinating on these concepts for three days, and once again the reminder comes that SAID isn't just limited to working out, and the physical body-but also applies to the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our lives.

 

That pic is of "The Iron Swede" aka my maternal grandfather-Karl Gustave Bengston-when was 20 years old in 1925.
