It was your body....that danced at your first drum circle; it was your body that gave birth to your child; it was your body that got down and dirty in the back seat of your dad's station wagon; it was your body that shivered, sweated, clasped its hands, fell to its knees, wept, and laughed the first time you felt the presence of the goddess in your life.

About This Quote

It was your body....that danced at your first drum circle; it was your body that gave birth to your child; it was your body that got down and dirty in the back seat of your dad's station wagon; it was your body that shivered, sweated, clasped its hands, fell to its knees, wept, and laughed the first time you felt the presence of the goddess in your life. When we accept and embrace our bodies and what they can do and not what we think they should be doing or should look like then we can experience many feelings and emotions. It is when we try to change our bodies with surgery or by applying makeup, fashioning them to be something else, that we lose out on what our bodies can actually do. A person’s body is important to them and if they don’t value it then they will easily give up on it. This quote reminds us how important our bodies are and how we should learn to love them for all that they are good at and not just what we want them to be.
