In a flash, I was in a Hospital; Emergency Room at VGH. Was I trying out for a part in the new TV Series on Knowledge Network? The whole show: Best friend beside the bed doctors nurses tests doors swinging in and out. More Questions
A Winter Herbal Meditation
There’s something calming about this time of year. The darkness invites a slowing down that our hyper-speed culture rejects the rest of the time. The browns and greys that fill the landscape call out for us to see beyond the surface, to imagine beyond the image we have of being alive.
