Similarly, when we denigrate our bodies–whether through neglect or staring at our faces and counting up our flaws–we are belittling a sacred site, a worship space more wonderous than the most glorious, ancient cathedral. We are standing before the Grand Canyon or the Sistine Chapel and rolling our eyes. Tish Harrison Warren
