"To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your body knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go."     Mary Oliver   

"This is the true joy in life, the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one, the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of alienation and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.  I'm of the opinion that my life belongs to the community and as long as I live, it's my privilege to do for it whatever I can.  I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live.  I rejoice in life for its own sake.  Life is no brief candle to me.  It's sort of a splendid torch, which I got ahold of for the moment.  I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to the future generations."    George Bernard Shaw

"The deeper we live the life of our bodies, the deeper is the upwelling of love."    Stanley Keleman

"It is amazing how many hints and guides and intuitions for living come to the sensitive person who has ears to hear what his body is saying."    Rollo May

"Our body is precious.  It is our vehicle for awakening.  Treat it with care."    Buddha

"Take what you do seriously, but don't take yourself seriously."    Terry Ezra Shihan

"I don't want to end up simply having visited this world."    Mary Oliver
