As a child I suffered from neurodermatitis to the bone. In sheer desperation, my parents put cucumber slices on my scratched-up body. Whether it really healed my skin, I can’t say. But it did help: I imagined that the cold healed me. That the wetness was settling between my dry pores. That it was nature that strengthened me. But perhaps it was simply my parents and their deeply human gesture of caring.
