Yet this is health: To have a body functioning so perfectly that when its few simple needs are met it never calls attention to its own existence.

If the mind

If the mind, that rules the body, ever so far forgets itself as to trample on its slave, the slave is never generous enough to forgive the injury, but will rise and smite the oppressor.

Our bodies communicate to us clearly and specifically,
if we are willing to listen.

We can see

We can see that these plants do more than simply maintain our body. They also promote and nourish our souls and make possible the enlightenment of our mind. Their existence is offering, sacrifice and selfless love. The earth on which they grow itself a sacraficial altar and we who receive their blessings are the sacrificial priests. Through plants, the outer light of the sun and the stars becomes the inner light which reflects back from the foundations of our soul. This is the reason why plants have always and everywhere been considered sacred, divine.

~Storl

Few of us

Few of us have lost our minds,
but most of us have long ago lost our bodies.

Emotion

If the body

Take care

Take care of your body.
It's the only place you have to live.

~Jim Rohn

Every man

Every man is the builder of a temple, called his body, to the god he worships, after a style purely his own, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead. We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood and bones.

~Henry David Thoreau
