Books, plants and acupuncture needles

Decades of freelancing, moving, new opportunities have prepared me for building a professional and contemplative life in rural upstate New York. A city dweller for years, I have never felt the authentic connection to my true self like I do in a garden, in nature, in the quiet. Opinions expressed are my own; I do not attempt to agree with everything I read and observe. I hope anyone who may chance upon these thoughts will form his/her opinion and do some research to stay informed. Namaste!

A happy new Year to all! As we trying to unravel the mystery of perfect health, one action that certainly would help in almost any case is adopting a good anti-inflammatory diet. Start the year right, and much health to you and yours!

The Tree of Life Grows...

"We too are the product of conditions - laid down by our circumstances and the habits of mind we have developed over the years. And we can now go on to change the conditions we set up, if we choose. We are, to the degree that we are aware, responsible for ourselves. It is this gift (and curse) of self-reflective consciousness that defines us as human, and that gives us choice. As long as we remain only dimly self-aware we can avoid having to confront those choices. If on the other hand we want to be more aware, more alive, we have to make those choices; we have to start the long process that leads to liberation"
