Arrested by Necessity
Do you have a favorite place to visit when you're overwhelmed by your thoughts? Do you get overwhelmed by your thoughts? I suppose not everyone experiences the paralyzation that occurs when too many decisions creep in. I get knots in my (ample) stomach that twist and turn into cramps. Within minutes, my pulse increases and I force myself to remain calm, but anxiety starts poking at my chest like a toddler attempting to wake his papa for a snack. The cause of my tension is lost by this time, and my focus turns to slowing my breathing, "staying present in the moment," and remembering where I am and why.

From Struggle to Success: Remarkable Stories of African American Brothers
Not too long ago in the United States African-American citizens had to ride at the back of the bus, drink at segregated water fountains, and weren't allowed to enter a "whites only restaurant." The Fifteenth Amendment added to the US Constitution gave African-Americans the right to vote. The following passage from the Library of Congress states: "Yet states still found ways to circumvent the Constitution and prevent blacks from voting. Poll taxes, literacy tests, fraud and intimidation all turned African Americans away from the polls. Until the Supreme Court struck it down in 1915, many states used the "grandfather clause " to keep descendants of slaves out of elections. The clause said you could not vote unless your grandfather had voted -- an impossibility for most people whose ancestors were slaves."

5 Subtle Signs of Strong Reproductive Vitality in Men
There’s an old saying that the body whispers before it shouts. We’re conditioned to measure health in loud, obvious metrics: the number on a scale, the definition of a bicep, the results of a blood test. But true vitality—the kind that fuels not just daily energy but our very biological potential—often manifests in quieter, more subtle ways.

Close Friendships
I met Lou in the spring of 2019. I was recently widowed, trying to find my place in the world without my wife of 39 years. I met him on the tennis court. He was the convener of a mixed doubles drop-in session. I was picking up activities I had not done since I was a teenager. The funeral director had warned me that I needed a social network, that otherwise I would just hang around the house and fade away. We had just moved to a new city four months previous, so this was a concern for me. I had written "Tennis? Bridge?" on a note pad as ideas for meeting people.
