the body is a sacred garment in which I experience my life without I could not taste and savor my food, feel the silkiness or softness of my clothes, make love to my lover, hear the birds singing, walk barefoot in the snow my body is truly a work of art, a master created such an exquisite machine which breaths by itself, pumps the blood around takes in and eliminates without my conscious attention how very incredible a Being it is and I am I do need to remember this sacred garment worn by my soul and treat it with loving kindness appreciate the treasure it truly is and never take it for granted for me that means more a mental journey of living appreciation and listening to its calling paying attention when it needs rest, or wants more water, or would like to take a walk not anything forced upon it no rigid diet or exercise program just honoring its wisdom and listening to my inner voice so I can wear this sacred garment with sacred awareness for many more decades to come
