The anorexic body
Have we become an anorexic body?
Do we see ourselves as spiritually fat when in fact we are wasting away?
Have we lost the taste for temple food after years of filling up on fast food?
Is the truth no longer palatable because it might offend?
Anorexia kills slowly
One by one internal organs quietly stop functioning
The heart slows and eventually stops
Lungs become deprived of oxygen
Life sustaining blood no longer flows throughout the body
Gangrene sets in
Members are rendered useless and require amputation
Anorexia kills silently
Whose mirror are we looking into
Whose reflection do we see
Whose reflection do we seek
Anorexia kills
Have we become an anorexic body?
