Projecting Into the Future: The Image of Success In Western Society – A Transformation From Charlie Sheen To Aloe Blacc

A Moment, Before a Major Upswing

The Gentle Intelligence of Skin
Your wounds do not heal when you scratch them, watch them intently, wish they weren’t there, make yourself upset because they are not healing faster, or from beating yourself up about the event that led to it, about a choice you made, the speed with which you heal. Your wounds heal from rest and fromContinue reading “The Gentle Intelligence of Skin”
