I am learning that shifting through ailments, in particular, is how to make peace with anything happening at any moment, and that moving in and out of tricky comfort zones is a kind of subtle reckoning with mortality. Such as your foot stinging with numbness: you are no longer able to put weight on one foot; or your needing your nebulizer to open your chest in the middle of the night: a humming of inhalation to release breath, to help ease pain.
