Take care of this body, this miraculous organism we get to travel in and be for a lifetime.
Like any organism, it needs tending and care–good food, movement, plenty of water, rest….
Make your body your friend.
As it has problems, do what you can to support it and help it heal. Be kind and compassionate to your body, especially when it hurts.
And know its growth and deterioration are part of the same cycle of nature all organisms are subject to. Illness and health are both lessons about life, if we are willing to listen and fully participate.
There’s no ride like it, nor any vehicle so amazing in all its functions and capabilities, and its vulnerabilities and frailties.
This is life!
