The "Blogging Circle of Friends "  prompt for DAY 1618
“Thinking thought to be a body wearing language as clothing or language a body of thought which is a soul or body the clothing of a soul, she is veiled in silence,” Harryette Mullen Write... exploring thoughts, experiences, and inspirations on the relationship between language and fashion. How does this influence your ideas on what a body is?

Our thoughts must be translated into actions because it is through thought partnered with action that we provide clothing for out soul. We can cloth our material/physical bodies with cloth of some type, but the clothing of our souls is the spiritual attributes we develop through the practice of expressing our thoughts through our actions. It's said that actions speak louder then words, this is because our actions usually are the reflections of our thoughts.

In order to change our actions we have to change our thoughts. That is difficult because in the process of changing our thoughts and actions we fall back into old habits when the going gets rough. That's alright as long as we admit that we made a mistake and attempt to do better when we are confronted with a similar situations. Change is accomplished in stages. As we seek to change the way we think and therefore the way we act we will stumble. Instead of condemning ourselves for stumbling we get up and move forward while asking for forgiveness.
