What is Medicine?

A medicine is something that improves or makes better something that is not in balance.

But medicine can also be a bandaid, something that covers the imbalance and makes us feel better

But the thing with bandaids, is that they break or wash away, leaving the wound open to the elements.

Elements… the building blocks of life.

How often do we pay attention to those building blocks

When was the last time you felt the air on your face

Really felt it?

Felt the crispness as it made your nose tingle or your ears go numb

Felt the air on your scalp as your hair rustles, like the leaves on a tree?

When did you last walk barefoot, in a puddle or a stream and jump around like a child or a puppy?

When did you last get so muddy, you needed to change your trousers? And feel good about it?

When did you last gladly jump in that puddle, stand in the drenching rain, place your trust in the winds that tussle you like a feather on the breeze?

When did you last say no? A definite no? A no that was a whole body no.

Or even a whole body yes? A yes that excited you, shook you to the core?

Now… what are you? Who are You?

Are you the one that benignly feels each element?

Or are you in a relationship with the elements? with the sensations?
