Gradually the healing took place, seeming as it always does

Summary

This quote reflects the slow and subtle nature of healing. Often, during the process of healing, it may not feel like any progress is being made. However, over time, without us realizing, healing is happening bit by bit. Just like how time heals wounds, this quote suggests that the healing process unfolds gradually, sometimes unnoticed, until eventually, we find ourselves restored and whole again.
