SONG OF THE FLOWER

I am a kind word uttered and repeated 
By the voice of Nature; 
I am a star fallen from the 
Blue tent upon the green carpet. 
I am the daughter of the elements 
With whom Winter conceived; 
To whom Spring gave birth; I was 
Reared in the lap of Summer and I 
Slept in the bed of Autumn. 

At dawn I unite with the breeze 
To announce the coming of light; 
At eventide I join the birds 
In bidding the light farewell. 

The plains are decorated with 
My beautiful colors, and the air 
Is scented with my fragrance. 

As I embrace Slumber the eyes of 
Night watch over me, and as I 
Awaken I stare at the sun, which is 
The only eye of the day. 

I drink dew for wine, and hearken to 
The voices of the birds, and dance 
To the rhythmic swaying of the grass. 

I am the lover’s gift; I am the wedding wreath; 
I am the memory of a moment of happiness; 
I am the last gift of the living to the dead; 
I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow. 

But I look up high to see only the light, 
And never look down to see my shadow. 
This is wisdom which man must learn. 

Kahlil Gibran

NEVER TOO OLD FOR NEW ADVENTURES – Motorbiking in Idaho and Montana

After teaching in Salmo at the Kootenay Herb Conference, we ventured out on our motorbikes into the US to explore Idaho and Montana. What an amazing experience, riding (as a novice, I got my licence last year in October) through the windy and mountainous landscape of Idaho – simply breathtaking scenery.

WHY NOT MAKE FOOD YOUR MEDICINE THIS SUMMER?

HE THAT TAKES MEDICINE AND NEGLECTS DIET, WASTES THE TIME OF HIS DOCTOR — Ancient Chinese Proverb

Summer is a great time to re-assess one’s diet and cultivate new eating habits by adding more fresh, organic vegetables, herbs and fruits to the daily diet.

If you have not yet watched the documentary: FORKS OVER KNIVES, I highly recommend, you do. This film presents evidence for the fact that most degenerative dis-eases can be controlled or even reversed with a plant based diet. The film is very well done and worthwhile watching.

ONE QUARTER OF WHAT YOU EAT, KEEPS YOU ALIVE. THE OTHER THREE QUARTERS KEEPS YOUR DOCTOR ALIVE — Egyptian Proverb

TROUBLE WITH SEASONAL ALLERGIES

Most of us welcome the arrival of spring, yet for others it means the return of a challenging time because of seasonal allergies.

Suffering may be reduced greatly with natural remedies, many of them available at my office. Call me at 780.532.2464 for information.

A wholesome diet (eliminates food allergens), regular exercise, stress reduction, reflexology and a positive outlook on life are key to our well-being all helping to reduce allergic/sensitivity reactions.

SEASONAL ALLERGIES present as short term, seasonal episodes with the majority of symptoms concentrated in the respiratory system, but can extend to the skin and digestive tract. Reactions may be triggered by air-borne pollens, dander, dust and mold.

COMMON SYMPTOMS include:

  • Sneezing
  • Post nasal drip
  • Sinus and nasal congestion
  • Itchy watery eyes
  • Excessive clear mucous production
  • Laboured breathing
  • Skin irritations or hives
