The Time of Digestion

The Time of Digestion

What is taken into the body does not leave the body immediately.

Each substance moves through its own rhythm. Some are released quickly, others remain, continuing their work long after the moment of eating has passed. The body holds these differences quietly, without interruption.

Digestion is not only a physical process but a passage of time within the system of the body. What lingers influences tone, clarity, and internal pace.

There is a point where accumulation becomes state. What has not yet left continues to participate in how one feels, moves, and responds.

To understand digestion is to understand that the body carries time, not only substance.
