Episode description

“How idiotic civilization is!  Why be given a body if you have to keep it shut up in a case like a rare, rare fiddle?”  ~Katherine Mansfield, writer, 1888-1923, Bliss and Other Stories “What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful than the garment with which it is clothed?” – Michaelangelo, Artist, 1475-1564 “There is nothing in all the world more beautiful or significant of the laws of the universe than the nude human body.” — Robert Henri “Our bodies were created “very good”, not dirty or obscene, even in a “naked and unashamed” state.” -Phillip Oak, Surprised into Freedom ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7T7WVGL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share )
