“Mind,” because this is the driver of action, and the driver of change for a better culture. Without our own intelligence, there’s no new thought or ideas. “Body,” because this is our vessel.

In endurance training, you get all sorts of out of body experiences. Sometimes if you run yourself totally out of fuel, it’ll feel like your body is still running like an automatic skeleton, and you’re hovering above it.

A little while ago we were outside this restaurant, waiting to order… Our group was on the left, and another crowd was over to the right, spilling onto the street. In the next 20 minutes as we got our food, I saw six couples leave. They didn’t leave because of the wait time though –...
