Movement is the unifying bond between the mind and the body, and sensations are the substance of that bond.

The skin is no more separated from the brain than the surface of a lake is separate from its depths the two are different locations in a continuous medium...The brain is a single functional unit, from cortex to fingertips to toes. To touch the surface is to stir the depths.

Enduring faith is not blind or obedient, it is keenly attentive and responsible it is not fed by awe, but by quickening interest prosperity is not the disappearance of problems, but the continual engagement with the process of finding solutions.

To touch the surface is to stir the depths.
