“Nothing is wrong with me? I thought. Not unclean? It’s just . . . a new part of me I need to learn to control? I’d come all this way to go on my pilgrimage because I’d thought my body was trying to tell me something was wrong with it.

The relief I felt was so all encompassing that I wanted to lie down on the rug and just sleep. Ariya”
