Your body is your masterpiece; the place where your being is manifest in all its palette brilliant color, shades of grey and black. It is where your soul says to the world, "I am here." Your body, the sacred vehicle that carries your soul, tattles on you. It tells how you feel...it manifests your love of life or depression, care for others or selfishness, health or sickness, the lightness of your step, or the heaviness of your brow. It is what we first present to others as a gift. It is what they first accept or reject.
How you take care of it, and how you take care of the extension of your mind, your home, gives away where you are right now. Is that why it is so important to some to keep reaching out to have all the trappings of wealth? If you have those trappings of success, it says something about you...about your mind...about your soul. There is no wealth without cleanliness.
Does that make sense? Is that really true? Are the wealthiest people the Zen Buddhists with their extreme simplicity? It feels more peaceful to me to think of living in a Buddhist style. Do you know anyone who does Zen makeovers?
We think we can hide our true selves, but in the end, the body gives us away.
