10 Simple Pleasures

(by Kerry Vincent - (c) 2008)

A sleeping cat

sunlight through stained glass

a cup of strong tea

wind rippling the water

sweet scent of evening-blooming flowers

moonlight through the trees

a handful of extra ink pens

a glut of good books to read

a friend you can talk to

a kiss goodnight

ah! Universal simple pleasures. We all have so much more in common than what could possibly separate us.

The Pythian Games

The Pythian Games took place at Delphi every four years. The festival not only involved athletic contests but included musical competitions and drama. Unlike our society which had turned sports figures into icons, in ancient Greece there was no divorce between intellect and muscle. Each was viewed to be a necessary quality of the perfect man. Pindar, a Boeotian poet made it his professional business to celebrate the athletic contests in music and song. When a city was victorious it rejoiced in poem and song. Thus these games furnished poets, musicians and authors the best opportunities to present their productions to the public, and the fame of the victors was diffused far and wide.

Here at Soul Food you can train for the Pythian Games by working out in the Solarium and Gymnasium and by making full use of the team bloggers that are associated with the site.
