| My heart won't let my feet do things they should do |
I found this quoted on the Velveteen Rabbi (which has to be one of the best-named blogs I've ever read):
The soul knows things the body can never know: joy, sorrow, anticipation, yetzirah [the world of emotion] and briyah [the world of intellect]. But the soul is liable to sickness for that very reason, in a way the body is not; the soul can become depressed, forgetful, closed-off. So the soul's constant duty is to teach the body the habitual ways of dancing -- so that when the soul becomes sorrowful, the body can remind the soul of how to pull itself out of that.
From Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, apparently. |
