Apologies for continuing to return to comment, but I was trying to clean out my Inbox and I found myself compelled to read this post one more time. And it just keeps getting better. Kudos, man, kudos. And thanks. More like this will always be appreciated, but no pressure.
Man, Chuck, you're freakin' fire on this Substack, and I mean the whole site, not just this entry, which is, as the comments below demonstrate, simply and elegantly . . . sublime. And I don't use that word casually, ever. And this? this cardinal epiphany? Wow, it's like I've stumbled upon the bodhisattva I've been seeking all my life. And one who can bench press 200 pounds! (which has now become my own personal gymnasium / workout goal). I bow deeply and solemnly in your direction. Thank you.
Thanks so much! But I'm even happier it resonated with you--I felt like I had come upon this things that, of course, I'm realizing a few decades too late.

I'll do my best! (I swear. And thanks.)

You’re the coolest. I really appreciate this. And 200–you can get there. I was literally doing like 110 not that long ago! Disclaimer: ALL NATURAL!
Perfect gift for today. Thanks, Chuck.
This was wonderful.
Thanks so much, Paula. I really appreciate it.
Everything you write resonates with me. But today's really hit. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and congrats on #200!
