Put your mouth on it. Breathe it in. The world is the flower you hold in your hand, brush against your nose, inhale. Waking up your senses is the first step in the journey of healing, because all healing happens in the now. And right now, the world is talking to you through your senses. Are you listening?

FIGHT BUGS W/PINE NEEDLES, NOT FLU SHOTS This year get a taste of the woods rather than line up for a flu shot. Boost your immunity with pine needle tea, filled with antioxidants including high levels of Vitamin C and antimicrobial essential oils like a-pinene.

when we speak the truth of our mind we see the brillance of lighning but when we say what is true in our our hearts we feel the earth rumble from its thunder

when you're speak the truth of your mind there is the flash of lightning and when you true to your heart there is the crash of thunder.

this says it all.

let's be honest your life is more like the simpsons than you like others to believe. honesty is necessary if you're going to work on your shit (esp. your health). "i ought to go upright and vital, and speak the rude truth in all ways." emerson
