The body's good fortune: pushing upward by loving being here.
This is the body's good luck, the delight of being incarnate exactly here. Its shadow is seriousness, treating embodiment as a problem to manage. Its gift is delight: sensuality as gratitude, timing as grace, the right place discovered by loving the present one.
The practice is surrender to the flesh you are: eat, move, rest, and touch with attention. Fortune follows those who fully arrive in their circumstances. A body loved into openness becomes an instrument of the sacred, and its music is ecstasy.
Seriousness → Delight → Ecstasy
