spiritual prescription

[fflo]

I have just realized I need to exhaust myself physically.

I've been exercising myself to the limits emotionally, and wearing myself out with coffee and not much sleep, and even working the noggin to the point of rubbery brains now & then. But it's been a fortnight since I went & used up the better part of the energy of my plain ol' pure muscles, bloodstream, lungs.

One of the lessons of this stage of my life has been how very good for me that occasional practice can be.

When life is so clearly instructive about something, why do we sometimes have such a hard time learning the lesson?

let's see... somethin'-a-n-i-m-somethin'-i-v-o... don't have my cheat sheet here, doggone it. checking other resources... zanimlj(y)ivo?

na vra brda, baby. this to say i'm all tied up, like a tongue twister? when i first saw the "во" & thought maybe it was a zdravo, but it didn't take long to realize there are too many characters. i mean, if anything ya'll are gonna have fewer characters than my eye expects, right?

ne razumem, olivera. (i just decided that's more important for me to know than "pivo" and "čuti bre"!)

одлично! (odlično!=excellent!)

не разумем is exactly right! the word is zanimljivo, ie, interesting. same formation as zdravo, meaning neutral gender of the adjectives zanimljiv and zdrav, respectively. the neutral often matches the adverb form, hence zdravo! is short for "budi zdravo!" meaning "be healthy!"
