THE BODY

The Body

The body is not bad or inferior in any way.
It is simply temporal.

You will never find ultimate meaning
by satisfying its needs.

Nor might I add will you find ultimate meaning
by denying its needs.
Taking care of the body is an act of grace.
Preoccupation with bodily pleasures or pains
is anything but graceful.
