So _that's_ what he means! I love it. It's a really good guess anyway. That quote has always been a great example to me of the "second language of poetry," as Donald Hall calls it, where you feel intuitively the truth of what is being said, but can't for the life of you pin specific and concrete meaning to it.

As Eckhart Tolle observes, the physical body is the gateway to "the now." I find it significant that dance, more than most things, drives the mind back into the body.

Thanks a ton for your thoughts. More soon, I hope.
