Judith. Btw2: The stigmata is not that strange, it's something that could be
hysterical; what is really interesting is her not eating. If that's true, we'd
be witnessing a miracle. As Zooey screamed, pulling out her hair and pouring
ashes on her head : It's impossible!! That's the point though, isn't it?

characteristic of anorexia...)

I consider a miracle the fact that an oak develops from an acorn, or a child
learns to speak at 2 or 3, or a beehive functions. There are miracles all around
us, we're just so used to them that we consider them "normal". So yes,
anything's possible. Surveillance? Guess not, but if she's lying, it would be a
massive con, which seems massively out of character. (Admittedly, I don't know
her.) But if you start from the absolute conviction that it's impossible, based
on previous experience, then of course there's no room in your mind for a
miracle.
