The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they’ll ease
Your will they’ll mend
And charge you not a shilling.
~Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields, What the River Knows, 1990
Best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year!

I think there are phenomena in the universe that cannot (yet?) be adequately explained. It may be that we just haven’t developed the instrumentation yet – nobody believed in X-rays at one time! – or they may be beyond our understanding at our current level of evolution. This does not make them less real, and we disregard them at our peril. I think that over the centuries, different cultures have conceptualized such things in their own particular ways, but what they are all describing is essentially the same, so it seems silly to get hung up on the small differences.
Learning to work with these things is essential if we are going to survive as a species, so we’d better grow out of the petty bickering and get on with it.
