Worries

Eleven

Day eleven in the mental institution – the physical therapist who is also an occupation therapist said: “Your body is so tense.” “I don’t feel it,” I answered. “I’m not in pain.”
I trust this therapist completely, she is like a goddess.
“You do live in your head don’t you?' “My body is highly combustible if you catch my drift, that’s why I need to take refuge in my head. Should I worry about my body?” “As long as you don’t feel the pain there’s nothing to worry about, but one day you may feel the pain.”
