Those of you who know me are aware of my obsession with interest in martial arts. The advent of things like facebook and twitter has made it increasingly difficult for me to compartmentalize my life into different categories. Which reminds me of some lines from a Diane DiPrima poem:
“there is no part of yourself you can separate out
saying, this is memory, this is sensation
this is the work I care about, this is how I
make a living
it is whole, it is a whole, it always was whole
you do not “make” it so
there is nothing to integrate, you are a presence
you are an appendage of the work, the work stems from
hangs from the heaven you create”
Trying to compartmentalize my interests is almost impossible, because they are special and three-dimensional and don’t fit into neat little boxes. I figure I will either impress people with my versatility, or alienate just about everyone. Or both!
But really I just wanted to post links to my Food Fight columns on a mixed martial arts site–an interesting amalgamation of my interest in food and healing with my martial arts obsession interest.
Here are links to the first two columns.
Enjoy!
