Dear LPG readers,

Some people see wholesome living as all about following a lifestyle that balances physical health, mental clarity, and emotional stability. 

Many will see it as a complex mixture of values to get right.  

If one were to paint a picture that attempts to sum it up, it might include healthy, unprocessed foods, regular exercise, relaxation, and a positive mindset.  I am unsure how to achieve that artistically, but armed with my pen, paper and rhyming head in gear, my interpretation manifested as follows…

Wholesome Living

Wholesome living is my daily prayer,
A healthy mind is my greatest desire.
A heart that is fit and strong and whole,
Perfectly healthy... in body and soul!

Wholesome living, being well to the core,
Content and happy, safe and secure.
There is no joy in pain and suffering,
Wondering what woes tomorrow will bring.

Wholesome living, no pain or disease!
No medical aids or any of these!
Wholesome living... a lifetime of ease!
Without any issues to disturb my peace!

But is this at all possible, or am I asking too much?
Am I being sensible or simply out of touch?
Do me a favour, give me some space.
Let me dream a little, don’t laugh in my face.
