The human body is a precious gift, not to be
carelessly squandered.
Its limbs, organs, faculties are designed to
help and heal and be midwives to glory.
Hands are made to hold.
Hands are made to help.
Hands are made for loving touch. Hands are made
to create something of lasting beauty.
Ears
are made to listen. Mouths are made to speak poetry and speak truth and speak
out when the occasion calls for it.
The
body is a temple of the spirit, to be cared for, to be trained to eloquence, to
be used to map understanding.
The
mind is made to think and also to imagine.
The
heart is made to open, to receive and give forth love.
Shoulders
are meant to stand on, to see what came before and what lies ahead.
Feet
are made to walk toward the beckoning horizon. And dance.
The
gut is made for courage, the fierce determination to stand in harm’s way and
declare:
“In the name of my children and grandchildren and world more worthy of
our promise, this is where this stops.”
To
help, heal and bring happiness or to hurt, harm and feed horror.
Let
us choose wisely.
