A Little Stress Can Be Good For You
Interesting idea....
“The idea that we could — or should — live without stress is nonsense,” says brain researcher Dr. Robert Sapolsky, the author of Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers.
Stress in brief stretches — excitement, eagerness, and thrill — can make your blood circulate better, improve your memory, heighten your senses, and release mood-enhancing brain chemicals.
Unrelieved, long-lasting stress can compromise the immune system, as well as lead to high blood pressure and heart disease. If you’re always exhausted, overwhelmed, and irritable, there’s probably too much stress in your life. Look at your responsibilities and let go of the things that aren’t necessary or important. Regular exercise, meditation, and adequate sleep also help relieve stress.
Boredom, fatigue, and ongoing unhappiness can be signs of too little stress.
To put the difference between good and bad stress in perspective: a roller coaster ride lasts three minutes, not three days.

a new project for us all
"jesus invites all men to devote themselves to the project of getting ride of violence, a project conceived with reference to the true nature of violence, taking into account the illusions it fosters, the methods by which it gains ground...Violence is the enslavement of a pervasive lie; it imposes upon men a falsified vision not only of God but also of everything else." - Rene Girard

try this on for size...
in relation to the trinity:
"I remember that I possess memory and understanding and will; I understand that I understand and will and remember: I will my own willing and remembering and understanding. And I remember at the same time the whole of my memory and understanding and will." - Augustine
the unity of selfhood - three in one-ness
similarly love requires a lover, one who is loved, and the love that unites them, in a kind of three-in-oneness, for in speaking of these three, we are speaking of one thing, love. - Augustine
chew on that for a few centuries
