Blood is meant to stay inside us to irrigate the body. Still, no matter how careful we are, it escapes.
We are taught that blood is the essence of our lives, that there’s nothing more intimate than blood. Even so, we often forget that we are our blood. Some of us think we are our intelligence or our looks or our souls. But from head to toes, it’s the creeks, rivers and deltas of blood suffusing our bodies that sustain us.
