Praise the muscles that hold you up
Treat the messengers of our nervous system kindly
Enjoy the rise and fall of your lungs
And the everlasting beat of your heart
Because it’s all you’ve ever known
Since you came into this world
You’ll depart before hearing it stop

I love this, I recently fractured my spine and broke my heel; the strength my body has shown in recovering, like this speaks to me so much

Straight to the heart, absolutely great.
So many think the body to be such a burden, when it’s a jeweled blessing – keeps you centered in real time, allows you to develop fleeting impulses into dinners, poetry, love, justice.
Going to re-post this one, Jack. Thanks so much for sharing it.

I very much agree with your point there! Without the body we wouldn’t experience anything good, or anything bad. I’m glad you enjoyed it so much! Thank you so much for all your comments, I really appreciate discussing things with people š thank you for reposting! I hope to see you around, Michele!! š

SUCH a coincidence because I just started writing something on how your body is like a galaxy or a universe! Unfortunately I stopped mid-way because I couldn’t find the right words, but I think you did beautifully š
