Health as a Vessel

<p>Prologue</p><p>The first time you step aboard a ship you notice the details-the</p><p>creak of the wood beneath your feet the way the deck tilts with</p><p>each wave the ropes coiled neatly in their place. It feels solid</p><p>dependable ready to face whatever the horizon holds. But every</p><p>seasoned sailor knows that a ship's strength is not in its</p><p>appearance. It is in the unseen-the quality of its hull the</p><p>soundness of its masts the care that has been given to it over time.</p>
