Healing

Isn't the body a beautiful thing?

I am watching my wound, the way I have spent a portion of my time every day, and I have watched it heal. Watched how every day it seems to be a little bit different, how the tissues have knitted together to close the gap, to close the edges.

In a few days it will heal, leaving nothing but a trace of the wound it once was.

How beautiful our body is, and it's ability to heal itself. Despite being a doctor and being able to witness instances of healing, it is something that happens so gradually that it is sometimes imperceptible, but our body is constantly working to achieve that state of wholeness again.

The things we take for granted?

It's like magic.
