“Feelings are physiological messages, aka interoception--very simply, messages from your brain tracking your body's physical and emotional state. With this feedback on how I was doing, I got better at taking care of myself.

The catastrophes that carve themselves deep inside of us also leave us with increased depth, augmenting the volume of feeling we're able to hold. And how can we measure devotion but by how much the vessels that we become for our art, faith, saviors, and crusades have the capacity to contain?”
