It was the body that despaired of the body, the soul is something within the body. Why then should we complicate things? Spirituality is nothing but seeking a perfectly happy body. Health is not the absence of illness only, but the presence of something that brings "intoxicating joy" into our lives.
You can never cheat your body, when your body gets bored it is a feeling that instigates you to break the rules, to have fun and bring the lost joy back into your life, but when you find different ways of "entertainment" - merely the wasting of time without feeling it passing by - you cheat your body, but fortunately it never works for you will soon realize you are still bored with all your entertainment.
Pain is inevitable, even for a satisfied body but a warrior's body (and spirit) can always get through. I see it now "Body I am entirely."
There's something to dancing that I never knew about; in order to dance you must stop trying to dance and start dancing.
No little art it is to dance, for dancing needs a perfectly happy, perfectly healthy and a perfectly satisfied body. Dancing is the celebrating of the joys of the body, to become a dancer one must first become a lover, an artist and a warrior, certainly not an entertained person, but a living one.
Bullshit
ReplyDeleteBeautifully and lucidly expressed. If people listened to their bodies more and to their minds less, all their worries would turn to joy.

ReplyDeleteThat is very beautifull expressed.
To my experience, dancing requires more than a happy, healthy body but a total understanding of the interconnection between one's emotional body and one's material body when in the act.
I like. I can't dance but trying is very satisfying. It helps you feel alive. Good writings.
