In this learning story, new is not new; new is clearing off some accumulated grime, making some repairs to the old foundation, and building up from there. And what’s great is that’s how our bodies work, too. We may have changes we want to make— to get stronger, to increase our physical and emotional stability, to be more able to relax. The ad line of “a whole new you!” can be pretty appealing, but it’s as flimsy as a house of straw.
