My Body Still Knows How to Heal

For a long time,

I believed I had forgotten how to sleep deeply.

Yet after being forced to stop,

after resting, eating well,

and allowing my body to recover,

I slept for seven uninterrupted hours.

The most important discovery was not that my ankle would heal.

It was that my body still knows how to heal.

Perhaps

let nature take the lead.

Let music follow.

It was never only about the moon, the sea, or music.

Perhaps

it was also about listening to the quiet rhythm within myself.

Nature is not somewhere outside of us.

Our own body is part of nature.

Recovering its rhythm is not about becoming someone new.

It is simply to remember

the rhythm that has always been there.
