Seek a long, thriving life? 'The Long River' is a gentle poem on longevity, celebrating the daily habits of nourishing food, rest, and movement for healthy aging

The Long River

This poem, 'The Long River,' was inspired by the idea that a long, healthy life is built not on drastic measures, but on daily, gentle habits. It's a reminder that caring for your body is a form of respect, and that true longevity is about thriving, not just surviving. I hope these words inspire you on your journey to healthy aging."

The body is a river, flowing slow and long,
Not with a frantic, hurried, rushing song.
With wholesome food, the cleanest you can find,
And movement that delights the body and the mind.
Give it good water, and give it its rest,
To pass each season, thriving, at its best.
A gentle pace, a purpose, and a friend,
Are the simple, steady guides to a long, strong end.
