¿Qué es aquello que jamás puede morir? Es aquella fuerza fiel que nace en nuestro interior, la que es más grande que nosotros, la que atrae la nueva … - Clarissa Pinkola Estés

The idea in our culture of body solely as sculpture is wrong. Body is not marble. That is not its purpose. Its purpose is to protect, contain, support and fire the spirit and soul within it, to be a repository for memory, to fill us with feeling - that is the supreme psychic nourishment. It is to lift us and propel us, to fill us with feeling to prove that we exist, that we are here, to give us grounding, heft, weight. It is wrong to think of it as a place we leave in order to soar to the spirit. The body is the launcher of those experiences. Without body there would be no sensations of crossing thresholds, there would be no sense of lifting, no sense of height, weightlessness. All that comes from the body. The body is the rocket launcher. In its nose capsule, the soul looks out the window into the mysterious starry night and is dazzled.

Go out in the woods, go out. If you don't go out in the woods nothing will ever happen and your life will never begin.

Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach.
