Dear patients
Oh my dear patients….
I wish I could take pictures of each of your sweet radiant and sometimes sad faces. I would carry you along with me on this journey.
I have always seen you as a community with much like-mindedness. You share this passion for health that is open to all ways of getting there. In my musings, I imagine us all outside on a sunny breezy day of summer among tall trees beside lightly rippled water. Over there are long tables laden with potluck foods; each person’s favorite healthy recipe. What bounty and savoriness, we could make a cookbook!
I have the pleasure of introducing you to each other, multi-generational families, couples, lone ones, across ages, connecting by beliefs, interests, challenges, quests, and needs. Mingling with the breeze is music played by some of you. We feast our eyes on artistic pieces made from your pain and joy. We reach out to touch the bright color, texture of crafts. We make notes, take cards, make appointments to meet again. We look forward to sharing this one’s healing arts, that one’s amazing business, a yoga class, a cup of tea. Each one of us finds a new friend, a group of friends, a family like ours, a companion where once we were alone.
And I slip away, knowing you will be okay, you will grow, you will heal and flourish, you will have each other.
Oh Sara, what a beautiful picture! I want to be there, too . . . I’m not your patient but I know I would be welcome!
