"Your body needs to be held and to……" — Henri Nouwen

Your body needs to be held and to hold, to be touched… - Henri Nouwen
"Your body needs to be held and to hold, to be touched and to touch. None of these needs is to be despised, denied, or repressed. But you have to keep searching for your body's deeper need, the need for genuine love. Every time you are able to go beyond the body's superficial desires for love, you are bringing your body home and moving toward integration and unity."
