Summary

This quote suggests that occasionally, our minds have moments of vulnerability and openness, where everything around us captivates and engrosses us. It is a state where our imagination is boundless, and we envision creating a metaphorical bubble so immense that it encapsulates the entire world.

I freak out if I go a little too long without being in the gym. For a long time it was all about getting the weight off because I was 240 pounds at my heaviest, and now I'm around 175, so the majority of that weight loss was due to diet and exercise.
