MY BODY IS A CAGE

My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

My body is a cage that keeps me

From dancing with the one I love

But my mind holds the key

 

My access to it was blocked.

 

But the mind is a part of the body. No body, no mind.

 

Just dance.

shouldnt one feel comfortable in their own skin?

but my friend mike had a thought about this i wanted to share.

 

 

"Everything Comes from the body- Entering Tranquility thru Movement"

 

most likely from He Jinghan

"Everything Comes from the body- Entering Tranquility thru Movement"

 

Not sure about the first part but yes, cause and effect rule. We move toward tranquility.

Here, this video should be watchable in the U.S.

 

 

 

my entity

[Marblehead]

Yep. That one worked.

 

What a depressing song.

 

I do understand the emotions but I will suggest that life doesn't have to be that way.

If you watched Strangers With Candy, it might cheer you up.

What a depressing song.

 

Some people obviously like to think that their body is a problem and assume that Buddhism or Daoism do support this idea because they can find here and there some quotes saying apparently negative things about the body.

But how can Buddha praise the precious life of a human, how can Daoists insist so much in the care we should take of our body to realize the Dao?

Birth, growth, decay :this is the destiny of the body; so what?

the body is not a cage but a launchpad If you stay attached you will not take off, if you despise it, you won't have any fulcrum to trigger the ignition.

Met a man locked away
for things he hadn't done
innocense on a ball and chain
never feel the sun
a grin on his face
roses in his hands
but when he smiled at me
i could understand

if you're free you'll never see the walls
if you're head is clear you'll never freefall
if you're right you never fear the wrong
if you're head is high you never fear at all

That's heavy! I don't go there very often any more. I guess I'm getting old. Hehehe

 

 

But this:

 

if you're head is high you never fear at all

 

I do be that. And I think I can honestly say that even though my head is held high I rarely if ever look down on anyone.
