I’ve been sick for the past 4 days and only now feeling better. The body forgets how it feels to be damaged and when it is, it really hurts.
Being sick reminds me of the messy situation of being a flash-bound mortal. I spend most of my days elevated in cerebral thought, just sitting and not really using my body.
The body forgets. I wished for tactile activities like dancing and walks on the beach and I get sickness. The body remembers.
This goes to show how balanced life must be lived. Not too much of one thing, too much of another but just right. Part-body, part-mind. Make each more powerful and efficient. Smart and hard, that’s the ticket.
