BODY TALK

I have had the flu all week and my fever refused to recede. In the few times I felt lucid, I wondered if my body wasn't tellling me it had not recieved the comfort and respect it deserved. We often schedule our lives with our minds without taking into consideration that it is our bodies that make all these marvelous adventures possible. I think the pace of modern life has blocked our communication not just with our physical selves but with our emotions as well. How many times do we have the sense that we are doing something uncomfortable but because we cannot find a logical reason to stop, we continue on what proves to be a collision course? How many times have we tied ourselves to someone else's star thinking we were going in the same direction only to know all too soon that we need to be on divergent roads?
It is so difficult to bypass reason and listen to our guts, isn't it? As I get older I am beginning to believe that our instincts are our only true guides to homeostatsis and that after all is what this glorious thing called living is all about isn't it?
