Our bodies are not simply transportation devices for our heads. It
is easy to think the thoughts we are conscious of are where our best thinking
is done. Magic lies when knowledge is embodied. When our heads are clear, and
we can just lean into a task we have mastered. That requires proper exercise. We
get this for kids. Managing screen time, indoor time, time on chairs, and
various other activities that turn us into jelly. It is important that we are
equally good at parenting ourselves. Prioritising things like play, stretching,
dance and sport. Not as a way of creating balance. Not as a side order. As a
key part of fully engaging with whatever meaning we are trying to create.
