Ah…easier said than done? Perhaps, but I don’t think so.
In Helen Nearing’s book , “Loving and Leaving the Good Life” she talks about an old Eastern medical practice where the town “doctor” would visit everyone periodically and make sure they were well. In exchange, the town paid the doctor well for keeping them healthy. If [...]
