Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. i loved it. i answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one i lingered over. i sent him a card and i drew a picture of a wild thing on it. i wrote, “dear jim: i loved your card.” then i got a letter back from his mother and she said, “jim loved your card so much he ate it.” that to me was one of the highest compliments i’ve ever received. he didn’t care that it was an original maurice sendak drawing or anything. he saw it, he loved it, he ate it.

Where philosophy ends, poetry must commence. there should not be a common point of view, a natural manner of thinking which standsin contrast to art and liberal education, or mere living; that is, one should not conceive of a realm of crudeness beyond the boundaries of education. every conscious link of an organism should not perceive its limits without a feeling for its unity in relation to the whole. for example, philosophy should not only be contrasted to non-philosophy, but also to poetry.

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.
