"Our bodies know how to heal. Our bodies want to heal."
"It’s immeasurable, it’s tiny changes, it’s microscopic knittings back together. Until you notice that you have changed – and you didn’t do anything to make it happen.
...
Remember this, I want to tell myself. Remember that a skinned knuckle wants to heal just as much as our insides do. And they will, provided we don’t try so hard to intervene. Sometimes all we have to do is honor the hunger. Sometimes all we have to do is get out of our own way."
