The body of existence

If the ‘intellect’ were a part of the human body

it would be its muscles.

If ‘reason’ were a part of the human body

it would be the blood in the veins.

If ‘wonder’ was a part of the human body

it would be the hairs on the back of the neck standing up.

If ‘love’ were a part of the human body;

it certainly wouldn’t just be the sex organs.
