Certified Homeopath

I went to a partially deaf homeopath,

A kind man with a booming voice—

Shockingly deep and resonant.

He has studied with Vithoulkas

(Even edited some of his books!).

Such a privilege, to have such care.

One Remedy

When a friend freaked out if anything was out of place,

I found the rubric

“Mind, anger, objects not in their proper place.”

Only one rubric there,

And it made total sense, in context.

Take the Nux vomica!

Radical Medicine

The first time I started this book,

I didn’t finish before I joined a homeopathy school.

But then I was pregnant, and diffuse.

Returning again, I am astonished at the realism:

Iatrogenic disease may be the number one killer.

But holistic methods of the past aren’t enough.

(With pollutions internal and external,

Water therapy and good food do not help.)

We need something to go to the root.

The author recommends: 

Plant stem cells to clear the way.

Sankaran homeopathy.

Exciting stuff!

Eric Liddell

A sermon on rest, 

Something lately lacking in me.

Eric Liddell ran,

Not to prove himself,

But “God made me fast.

And when I run, I feel his pleasure.”

Do I feel that way 

When I practice homeopathy?

I do.

Then I must carry on.

Waking Up Late

To get to church on time,

I had to wake Caleb,

Soft-cheeked and warm

With sleep. 

He wasn’t happy to have me 

Cuddle him,

But I managed a bit

Just the same.

Cheating

Though Caleb and I usually content ourselves

With 100-piece puzzles,

This time we did a 270,

With only part of the picture revealed.

I looked at the box as much as possible,

To try to place specific pieces.

It took an hour and a half,

And Caleb said, in the end,

“We cheated.”

Bible Study

I hadn’t gone in months,

But I took the hours to 

Study Jonah,

Taught by my husband.

A bit of a painful start,

But good discussion,

And a good time had by all.

I think I needed to leave the house.
