I think there is no better way to invite a human being to view their body differently than by inviting them to be an athlete, by revering one's body as an instrument rather than just an ornament.
Athlete Thinking Views
You have to stand up and be a human. you have to honor the man or woman that you are. respect your body, enjoy your body, love your body, feed, clean, and heal your body. exercise and do what makes your body feel good. this is a puja to your body, and that is a communion between you and god. . . . when you practice giving love to every part of your body, you plant seeds of love in your mind, and when they grow, you will love, honor, and respect your body immensely.

Switch to piano! no. really, if you like an instrument that sings, play the saxophone. at its best it's like the human voice. of course, it would be best if you could actually sing with your own voice. the saxophone is an imperfect instrument, especially the tenor and soprano, as far as intonation goes. therefore, the challenge is to sing on an imperfect instrument or 'voice' that is outside of your body. i love that challenge and have for over forty-five years. as far as playing jazz, no other art form, other than conversation, can give the satisfaction of spontaneous interaction.

Memories Mean Thinking
So may the outward shows be least themselves: the world is still deceived with ornament. in law, what plea so tainted and corrupt, but, being seasoned with a gracious voice, obscures the show of evil? in religion, what damned error, but some sober brow will bless it and approve it with a text, hiding the grossness with fair ornament? there is no vice so simple but assumes some mark of virtue on his outward parts.

The root-word "buddha" means to wake up, to know, to understand; and he or she who wakes up and understands is call a buddha. it is as simple as that. the capacity to wake up, to understand, and to love is called buddha nature.
Knowledge Mean Simple
I know that anybody who does all this and doesn't have to, everything thinks she's very driven. the truth is, i enjoy it all so! can't it be that simple? i think it is! i don't feel overworked. i get a constant kick out of being heavily committed. is that sick or something? god, what would i do sitting still?
