“Polly Jean, I love you. I love the texture of your skin, the taste of your saliva, the softness of your ears. I love every inch and every part of your entire body. From your toes and the beautifully curved arches of your feet, to the exceptional shade and warmth of your dark hair. I need you in my life, I hope you need me too.” NeedsBodyDarkFeetLove YouHairTasteSkinsEarsWarmthShadeInchesToesExceptionalNeed YouTextureSoftnessArchesI Need YouDark HairSaliva Author:Nick Cave
“Here's a strange fact: murder a man, and you feel responsible for his life - ''possessive'', even. You know more about him than his father and mother; they knew his fetus, but you know his corpse. Only you can complete the story of his life, only you know why his body has to be pushed into the fire before its time, and why his toes curl up and fight for another hour on earth.” KnowsMenFeelsFactsStoriesBodyEarthMotherFightingFatherHoursFireStrangeMurderResponsibleToesCorpsesCurlsPossessiveFetus Author:Aravind Adiga
“There are so many things that can provide us with peace. Next time you take a shower or a bath, I suggest you hold your big toes in mindfulness. We pay attention to everything except our toes. When we hold our toes in mindfulness and smile at them, we will find that our bodies have been very kind to us. We know that any cell in our toes can turn cancerous, but our toes have been behaving very well, avoiding that kind of problem. Yet, we have not been nice to them at all. These kinds of practices can bring us happiness.” KnowsWellsKindHas BeensProblemBodyBigsTurnsNextPayAttentionPracticeNiceAwarenessMindfulnessCellsPay AttentionShowersNext TimeToesAvoidingBaths Author:Nhat Hanh
