What does it mean to have a body?

 

We are multidimensional beings: spirit, soul (mind, emotions, will) and body. But all that complexity can only be expressed through our bodies. Who we are is trapped within us unless we make something — a speech, a book, a dance, a painting, a song, a visit. 

 

The human experience means bringing our unseen into where it can be received some way by other bodies. And in this transfer, something is always lost in translation. So the human experience is a beautiful, frustrating challenge of partial messages, garbled transmissions, incomplete sentences.
