Description
We eat. We run. We gain. We lose. We generally do two of these four things simultaneously. For Dr. McDowell, it was eating and gaining. But then something changed: his health. He started running and losing. His connection to food became less important than his connection to his body. In this lyric essay, “Rhythm is Originally the Rhythm of the Feet,” Dr. McDowell explores how he ran away over 100 pounds and ran toward something greater.
