“If I said to you that I wanted to measure your efficiency at running, and in trial1 allowed you to use 100percent of your body, including arms and legs. Imagine we videoed your running and examined it for style & mechanical efficiency. Most of us would score pretty highly.

When you use both sides, your creative potential becomes infinite.”

“I got no time That I got to get to Where I don’t need to be”

“But you cant stop nothing
If you got no control
Of the thoughts in your mind
That you kept in, you know
You dont know nothing
But you dont need to know
The wisdoms in the trees
Not the glass windows
You cant stop wishing
If you dont let go
But things that you find
And you lose, and you know
You keep on rolling
Put the moment on hold
The frames too bright
So put the blinds down low”

Author: Jack Johnson, song “Breakdown“, from album “In Between Dreams” (2005)
