The importance of healing

2 years today since my hip surgery, the words of the Nigerian poet Ijeoma Umebinyuo come to mind:

“You see, in a culture like ours, we were never taught the importance of healing, we were only taught to survive. Not heal. Bury, survive.”

Recovery Song is the handmade book of my recovery process from the surgery.
