I opened the bag and packed the boots in, and then, just as I was going to close it, a horrible idea occurred to me. Had I packed my toothbrush ? I don't know how it is, but I never do know whether I've packed my toothbrush. My toothbrush is a thing that haunts me when I'm travelling, and makes my life a misery. I dream that I haven't packed it and wake up in a cold perspiration and get out of bed and hunt for it. And, in the morning. I pack it before I have used it and it is always the last thing I turn out of the bag and then. I repack and forget it and have to rush upstairs for it at the last moment and carry it to the railway station, wrapped up in my pocket-handkerchief.

Just make a moment to listen to your body. What do I mean by listen to your body ? We think of bodies as concrete physical structure.

At their deepest level, our bodies are nothing other than intelligence. This intelligence manifests into different sounds, or energetic vibrations that become the subatomic particles, atoms, cells, tissues, organs, and organ system of our physical bodies.
