The mind can heal the body.
The body can’t always heal the mind.
But healing the body might just help the mind heal the body.
A new workout set won’t build muscle,
but it might get us to show up to the gym.
A refurbished vintage compact won’t change our reflection,
but it might help us face the world.
We’re often told to build the foundation first.
To save the details for later.
But sometimes, it’s the detail that dares us to begin.
Details are amulets.
They may be small,
but they hold power.
