“Why do you hurt?” the mind asked the body.

“I don’t hurt,” responded the body, “why do you ask?”

“I ask because I feel it is so. Why lie to me? I am only concerned”

“Strange,” said the body, “I feel fine and I’m not lying. I promise”

“Promises can be broken,” replied the mind

“So can minds, and so can bodies, but for now we are not.”

“For now?”

“Please rest,” said the body, “I am okay”

“Am I okay? What if it is me that is broken?” said the mind.

“Broken minds don’t ask if they are broken. You’re okay”

“How do you know?”

“Broken bones don’t ask if they are broken either. You’re probably just sprained”

“What does that mean?”

“It means you’ll heal”
