Since 1998 I've been sending out these reflections first thing each
week--one or more quotes plus my thoughts about the intersections and
contradictions. They're archived here back to 2002, and a new one is
posted every Monday morning. Dialogue is still welcome . . .

Quote #1260 - #BodyLogic
19 Oct, 2026
BODY LOGIC
"Learn to say no before your body says it for you. Every no you fail to set is a stress your body absorbs. "
Gabor Maté
WHEN THE BODY SAYS NO
"Learning is just remembering slowly, like simmer coming to boil."
Shauna Singh Baldwin
WHAT THE BODY REMEMBERS
"The greatest sources of our suffering are the lies we tell ourselves."
Bessel A. van der Kolk
THE BODY KEEPS THE SCORE
I cancelled things all weekend.
Couldn't move.
Didn't want to.
Let my body run
the show.
Rest, it said.
Say no.
And so
I did.
On one level, it
felt it feels
so wasteful,
useless,
not living up to my,
I don't know,
potential
or
expectation
or some need for
productivity
accomplishment
measure of worth.
On another level, I am tending
to deeper needs,
cravings,
for peace.
There is so little peace
out there.
Give me deep rest
before I go
out there
again.
