Your conversations, Sevara, bring more thoughts and images to mind ~

A while back I wrote a movie review about Sean Penn's movie - Into the Wild ~ The main character gives up his daily somewhat successful life and money to live in the wild (Alaska) with nothing more than a few nature books and only what he could carry in his back pack ~

At one point he finds he cannot find enough food to survive and desperately hunts down a large moose for food ...The movie shows in great detail the gruesome task of hunting and killing the precious and beautiful animal for food ...and the realities and even more gruesome task of a carving up the animal for food - before it is contaminated by other creatures of nature, insects and so forth ...These graphic scenes can make one think twice about his or her next red meat meal to say the least ~

So you remind me - be kind to ourselves by taking care of our bodies, spirit and mind ~ When caring for one another ...don't forget to care for ourselves ~ Our body is our divine temple that we share our light with the world ~
