read this over and over

[callmedottie]

"I stand in awe of my body, this matter to which I am bound has become so strange to me. I fear not spirits, ghosts, of which I am one,--but I fear bodies, I tremble to meet them. What is this Titan that has possession of me? Talk of mysteries! Think of our life in nature,--daily to be shown matter, to come in contact with it,--rocks, trees, wind on our cheek! the solid earth! the actual world! the common sense! Contact! Contact! Who are we?"
-Henry David Thoreau
