everything on the earth has a purpose, every disease an herb to cure it, and every person a mission.

About Me

i don't use a clothes-dryer.
i shave my legs with a watering can.
"There is no such thing as 'part-Cherokee.' Either you're Cherokee or you're not.It isn't the quantity of Cherokee blood in your veins that is important, but the quality ofit . . . your pride in it. I have seen full-bloods who have virtually no idea of the greatlegacy entrusted to their care. Yet, I have seen people with as little as 1/500th bloodquantum who inspire the spirits of their ancestors because they make being Cherokee aproud part of their everyday life."~Jim Pell: Principal Chief of the North Alabama Cherokee Tribe ~..
any word you speak this afternoon will radiate out in all directions, around town before tomorrow, out and around the world before tuesday. accelerating to the speed of light, modulating as it does, shaping new and unexpected messages, emerging at the end as an enormously funny hungarian joke, a fluctuation in the money market, a poem, or simply a long pause in someone's conversation in brazil. --lewis thomas in the lives of a cell
i want to be a doctor of natural medicine, self-sufficient, rid my body of all toxins so i can have beautiful babies, and be able to love all/ everything equally; we are all god.
