"We carry a terrible wound: alienation from our embodied life.
"Your flesh shall become a great poem."
Walt Whitman
This week be aware of your precious human body. Nourish your body by giving it fresh food and ample rest. Remember that you won't always have a body to care for.
What do you think Whitman means when he says your flesh will become a great poem? If you feel inspired, write a poem for the man in the picture above.
