The truth about childhood is stored up in our bodies and lives in our souls. Our intellect can be tricked, our feelings can be numbed and manipulated, our perception shamed and confused, our bodies tricked with medication, but our soul never forgets. And because we are one, one whole soul, in one body, someday our body will present its bill.
