The body shuts down
when it has too much to bear;
goes its own way quietly inside,
waiting for a better time,
leaving you numb and half alive.
~ Jeanette Winterson, from The Passion

Beautiful reminder to listen to our body. May it refresh itself with sleep tonight.
Yes.
That is exactly how I feel at the moment!
in pinball terms – ’tilt.’
Good!
I so get this..
I resemble that remark. Haven’t visited lately–the numbness has reached my fingertips.
Smiling. Welcome back Sandy.
