Abandonment Quote by Caroline Myss
“We all share a type of physical body that becomes ill or heals for the same reasons. We also share emotional and psychological crises common to the human experience. Everyone fears abandonment, loss and betrayal; anger is as toxic within a Jewish body as it is within a Christian, Muslim or Hindu body; and we are all drawn to love. When it comes to health of our spirits and our bodies, we have no difference.”

![“[Listening to a song] one could experience a freedom from one's physical body, and from one's social body - the mask you wore to go about in public among those who thought they knew you, an unchosen mask of nervousness and tradition, the mask that, when owrn too long, makes the face behind it…” quote by Greil Marcus](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/05f/greil-marcus-10438_freedom_listening-to-a-song-one-could-experience_82171.jpg)
