Quote by Nadia El-Fassi

“No man should look like that, it wasn't fair. Packed muscle, sculpted shoulders, probably built though years of training, and a few scars (she wondered what from) across his upper chest. Said chest was of course perfectly peppered with dark hair that trailed scandalously down to the deep V just above his shorts.”

She squinted in the dark, trying to recall where she’d been--- and then it came back to her. She’d been standing on the cartoon ground in Mexico, rocky and dry and flat, watching a single peach blossom blow across its surface. Birdie chased it, but it was too fast. It blew away from her.”

“Fascia knows where you are in the world; it's loaded with position sensors that contribute to your sense of balance and feeds those bearings directly to that fear-conditioning corner of your brain, the amygdala. Any movement grooved into the fascia feels soothing, gratifying, efficient; try to unlearn it, as any batting coach or ballet teacher will tell you, and you're in for a struggle. New movements, no matter how necessary or logical, just feel wrong.”
