Grace and Healing
Healing is not a gift bag.
Grace arrives unwrapped — not because you earned it, because the world is sometimes less cruel than your rehearsal.
Healing is not the bow on the box. It is the slow return of appetite, the hand trusting a cup again, the sleep that does not audition as death.
Gift language tempts you to stay passive. Receive, yes — then do the next physical thing.
The cup warms the hands that doubted it.
