Antibiotics, Counterinsurgency and the Myth of Contagion
Sean Donahue

Modern medicine's indiscriminate use of antibiotics has spurred the evolution of newer, more viruent diseases. Similarly, U.S. counter-terrorism techniques inevitably spawn new forms of violent resistance. Rather than attacking symptoms, a new mindset is required to restore balance in the body, and the body politic.

Of Rumi, Heartbreak, and Elecampane

Rumi wrote:

Heartbreak pulls up the roots of old happinesses
So a new ecstasy can stroll in from Beyond.
Heartbreak pulls up all withered, crooked roots
So no root can stay hidden.
Heartbreak may pull many things from the heart
But in return it will lavish kingdoms.

Skunk Cabbage Dreams

http://greenmanramblings.blogspot.com/

It began last April with a dream. In my waking life, my lungs had been congested and my neck and shoulder were sore. Before bed, I sat at my altar and burned sage and asked for a plant ally to reveal itself to me while I slept.
