“Health”❓

I once attended a Health & Wellness seminar that was given by a nun from Ohio who was an avid gardener. She said there are three things to peace and happiness…1) Listen to G_d (the spirit, the earth mother, whatever you call a higher being)… 2) Go home (go to the land where you were born, it has the elements that draw you to it and are a part of your makeup)… 3) Be responsible ( for what you eat, what you buy, what you throw away and what you produce.)__Cindy Oerter

Interviewer: What would you say to yourself if you could go back in time and meet yourself at the beginning of your creative career?

Terrance Keenan: Don’t do it unless you have to. You do not have to choose between your life and your work. You can live, love and work and still create. Never give up. Health, weakness, relentless negative feedback and rejection, tragedy, shattered relationships, or powerful emotional responsibilities may pull at you and make you want to give up. Don’t. Show up. You can’t create if you are not there. And there is always more. When you think you have exhausted all the possibilities, it is time to rest. Then begin again. The discoveries are endless. I look at Picasso, Frank Lloyd Wright, Georgia O’Keeffe, they never stopped until they died.—A Web Site

A serene acceptance of ‘what is’ promotes health, but by keeping the mind clear it also puts a person in a better position to change things that need changing.—Bernie Siegel

Wendell Potter is a straight shooter—and he hits the bulls-eye here with an exposé of corporate power that reveals why real health care reform didn’t happen, can’t happen, and won’t happen until that power is contained.—Bill Moyers

Progress in scientific understanding is not a continuous process. From time to time, a great idea (along with the evidence for it) provides an essential new perspective that opens new possibilities not envisioned before. In our time, the great idea that transformed understanding of biology is, of course, the central role of DNA as the repository and carrier of biological information from generation to generation. Once it became clear that genetic information is encoded as molecular sequences of nucleotides in the DNA that are translated into sequences of amino acid sequences in the proteins, it became possible to explain all of the fundamental elements of genetics and evolution in terms of molecular sequence. Moreover, much of the basic biology of health and disease could be understood better in the light of the flow of information from the genome to phenotype. The great idea that biology is about information and DNA, and that protein sequences were the nexus of this information was the work of a relatively few pioneers in the field now referred to as ‘molecular biology’, of whom Francis Crick and James Watson are by far the best known.—Botstein

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.—Buddha

After all, fifteen years [Lent, 2037—82 years old] is a comparatively short period of time. And ‘if only you take good care of your health’, then you can reach your aim and become useful.—Bushido

The ego is able to convert everything to its own use, even spirituality. …Ego translates everything in terms of its own state of health, its own inherent qualities. It feels a sense of great accomplishment and excitement at having been able to create such a pattern. At least it has created a tangible accomplishment, a confirmation of its own individuality.—Chogyam Trungpa

What has become increasingly clear to me is that man has a natural integrative tendency that leads to health, and that disease emerges whenever there is a block. Blocks can come from a genetic predisposition that interferes with natural development, from social learning, or from prior experiences that are unique to the individual.—Cloninger

Divorce is not a legal problem, it is a public health problem, involving millions of kids...—??
