“I recognized myself in the mirror of the stories - and only then did it become clear to me how to negotiate the quandary of my life. And so the stories - more than just food, more than just nourishment - are medicine. Not specifically to heal, because we have a fantasy of healing, which is that the wounds and scars will be gone, and we’ll be just as we were before the affliction ever landed on us. But to heal, as I mean it, is to make the wound a source - a generous and generative source - of what you have to give and bring into the world."
