It\\u2019s when we are about to loose something that we hold dear that we choose to step in fully to do something about it. Why is that? Why must we wait until the situation is dire before choosing to fully engage in our lives, our relationships, our environment, our bodies, our hearts, etc?

Move back into the culture of your body, cultivate it and grow it.

This was the theme of this week\\u2019s episode. Inspired by a conversation from one of my favorite podcasts Speaking of Faith . It was regarding manuscripts and the \\u201cmonastic library that rescues manuscripts from across the centuries and across the world. And there are worlds in this place \\u2014 on palm leaf and papyrus, in microfilm and pixels \\u2014 stories of ordinary life as well as the rise and fall of civilizations....In their lives as in this work, the relevance of ancient manuscripts to people of the present and the cultural cargo of the past itself are revealed in a new light.\\u201d - Krista Tippet

I don\\u2019t have a particular affinity for manuscripts themselves, in fact I haven't ever really thought about them, but after listening to this episode they were revealed to me as yet another expression of the sacred in the every day, and how there are so many many treasures that often times we overlook within our every day lives

The treasure that I speak about in class specifically is the treasure of our bodies, and the way that we loose sight of the beauty of it\\u2019s culture until it begins to unravel.
