Not that kind of alignment, and no, your hips still are not ‘out’.

Instead, are you living in alignment with who you are, who you were born to be?

We are born into this world peeing and pooping on ourselves, not knowing where we end and where the external world begins. Everything we encounter is fuzzy and needs to be tasted and tried. Our communication is comprised of extremes, much like a modern-day political debate. We cry and scream or smile and giggle.

As I write this I'm sitting in the middle of Oak Mountain State Park waiting to run a 50K. Part of me wonders why I signed up to run over 31 miles and more than likely suffer for most of it, while the other part of me relishes the selfish opportunity to spend the next 4-5 hours in the outdoors.

As I write this entry, I am sitting on the porch of a cinder block building that is fashioned to look like it is made entirely of Legos. I am staying at Legoland Beach Resort with my sister, her kids, my mom, and my wife. Now the kids love this place, but this is about as far away from my ideal vacation spot as it can get.

Once upon a time, man lived in nature. He slept on the grass. He lived under the trees. He hunted the animals. Man was from nature. The man decided that he should tame nature. That he should grow plants the way, he thought best. Instead of hunting the animals, he would put them in cages and eat them whenever he liked. He would take the rest of the animals and make pets of them. He would then take those animals and some other plants into his home, to remind of what it was like when he used to live nature.
