The Body Remembers

"The body remembers, the bones remember, the joints remember, even the little finger remembers.  Memory is lodged in picture and feelings in the cells themselves.  Like a sponge filled with water, anywhere the flesh is pressed, wrung, even touched lightly, a memory may flow out in a stream."

~Clarissa Pinkola Estes

What's in a Name?

"I could not lie anymore so I started to call my dog "God."  
First he looked confused, then he started smiling, then he even danced.  

I kept at it: now he doesn't even bite.  

I am wondering if this might work on people?"

Your Body as Choir

"Sing, my tongue; sing, my hand;
sing, my feet, my knee,
my loins, my
whole body.

Indeed I am His choir."

St. Thomas Aquinas
