Quote by Francis Bacon

A healthy body is a guest chamber for the soul: a sick body is a prison.

A healthy body is a guest chamber for the soul: a sick body

Summary

This quote emphasizes the close relationship between the body and the soul. It suggests that when the body is healthy, it provides a welcoming and comfortable space for the soul to dwell in. In this state, the soul is liberated, able to thrive and express itself freely. Conversely, when the body is sick or in a state of poor health, it becomes restricting and confining for the soul. It insinuates that a healthy body is essential for the soul to experience true freedom and fulfillment.

What a blessing that God allows a life to come through your body, and then allows you to place that body in a body bag and take it out. I had to say that there's a magnificent something that God has for me to do, to give me that level of completion. That level of experience. It's unspeakable.
