I believed the body while it was still speaking softly

Dear Delyara, I want to respect that. The earlier signals came, and instead of translating them into “not enough to matter yet,” I listened. That is not how I have always lived. I used to wait for louder proof. Now, a little more often, I am learning the value of earlier listening. That feels like health in the deepest sense. Not only repair. Relationship. This week, the relationship was kinder.
