Your insight about holding inside that which we yearn to know reminded me of the Buddha's assertion that "The world, the origination of the world, and the path leading to the cessation of the world, all lie within this fathom-long body," meaning that we need only to study the body to find everything we need to know for liberation. As someone who has been largely disconnected from her body for most of her youth, and who tends to live in her head, I find this to be a powerful (if surprising) piece of wisdom.

I'm certainly getting the impression so far that Steemians seem to be a thoughtful and articulate bunch. So happy to have found this space! I'm looking forward to reading and hearing others' truths here too, including yours.
