Parker Palmer asks a penetrating question that returns us to the practices of an embodied spirituality:
“I had been trained as an intellectual not only to think – an activity I greatly value – but to also to live largely in my head, the place in the human body farthest from the ground…I had embraced a form of Christian faith devoted less to the experience of God, a fact that now baffles me: how did so many disembodied concepts emerge from a tradition whose central commitment is the ‘Word made flesh?’” (Let Your Life Speak, 2000)
