An Argument about Body: Beau Christopher Taplin answers to Majarah Charan Singh Ji

How writers and poets, philosophers and thinkers touch the same topics and these dialogues unfold so beautifully.  When I read these days my mind and soul immediately listen to the echo of other words. Imaginary dialogues. Today two perspectives on the Body, as a temple and a forest (one can see how young and bold the answer feels:

-"If there is any true temple, true gurdwara, true mosque or true church, it is our own body. This place God has designed for Himself, and He sits within it. " Maharaj Charan Singh Ji

 -“Listen to me, your body is not a temple. Temples can be destroyed and desecrated. Your body is a forest—thick canopies of maple trees and sweet scented wildflowers sprouting in the under wood. You will grow back, over and over, no matter how badly you are devastated.”
