Thanks for this analysis and especially for the quote from Ted Hughes. It took me years to realize that when my boxing coach asked me how I was he was not asking how things were at work or asking what I was thinking about. He was asking how I felt, i.e., what my body was saying to me. Lots of data go into what we describe as our mood. Mr. R. seems to be a good reminder.
Standard Boxer brilliance.

So much to it. That's what the kids are calling "mindfulness" these days.
