I love this quote from a Tricycle book review by Dean Sluyter: "...I realized that I had spent the previous twenty-some years trying—like many others, I suspect—to use spirituality as a way to escape from my body, obliterate my senses, and vanish into my mind. Just standing, just seeing, just hearing and touching, I started learning to go out of my mind and come to my senses."
It's not just the meaning here I admire (though it is refreshing to hear non-cerebral Buddhism expounded). It's the literal use of "go out of my mind" and "come to my senses." Nice.
