The real things haven’t changed…Laura Ingalls Wilder
(One of my favorite quotes)
There isn’t a way things should be. There’s just what happens, and what we do.

Why are you knocking at every other door?
Go, knock at the door of your own heart.
Go, knock at the door of your own heart.

I asked her as a sign of her love • for blue ribbon outside • on the old oak tree • when I came to look • I found the tree painted blue ( by @Wolfs_Diary )
All philosophies and scriptures say the same thing: “God dwells in this human body.”
Do not consider your body a mere lump of flesh made of seven components. It is a noble instrument. In it are situated all holy places, gods, mantras, and the source of all extraordinary powers in this world…. God dwells in the body. He is present as fully in you as in the highest Heavens. Why are you exhausting yourself looking for Him in different places instead of in your own heart? You should live your normal life, but accord Him the chief place among your daily activities. Whatever may be your religion or philosophy, do not make yourself a foolish, weak, and trivial creature. Do not head toward decline and disaster by regarding this body as godless. Do not commit spiritual suicide by belittling yourself through defective understanding.
