Medicine is a friend touching your hand in the hospital, a doctor kindly telling you it is OK to say good-bye to your husband, another doctor saying people only die because I do not know enough to keep them alive. Medical care is saying we bankrupt our families on last two weeks over-care which is futile. Medical care is comfort care and going down fighting and raging against the darkness coming. Health care is all these things and more, and they are all legitimate. How can we see this larger? What is the picture of the whole that will carry us toward healing? Maybe we can never reach healing, but we can reach out.

Our world is ordered by patterns
What do we see?
What might we see?
How complex? How creative?
What qualities?
What more, what more?
Ad infinitum
To shapes of wholeness
In motion

We fear others who are liberal or tea partiers or Republicans or fundamentalists or extremists or conservative or occupiers or Democrats. Why? Because we fear they are one-dimensional, fanatical. We forget too easily that every person is whole, rounded, with hundreds of aspects and loving.

The world-life is a mystical place
Filled with vital things we do not know and beautiful
To tantalize and nurture all
