You think the rule of physics must be strict,

Man’s thirst for knowledge never can be quenched
\nwhile minds refuse to grant the role of mind

\nbroad truth while narrow physics is entrenched.<\/p>\n

What sort of science would it take to know
\nhow neurons fire, hearts beat, and grasses grow?<\/p>\n

Mitteldorf has taught a weekly yoga class for thirty years. He is an advocate for vigorous self care, including exercise, meditation and caloric restriction.
