If healing and curing were the goal

If we remembered to include our oversoul

If we could start be wonder

What methods might we put asunder

And others institute

Or allow to unfold naturally

And what models might we live into

That would allow our inner divine

To align

The human

To her highest health?

For if health is wealth

Only if we look at the whole

And see every individual as whole

Can we approach the throne of life’s fountain

In a way that helps us climb the inner mountain

To arrive in wonder, in awe, in love, in gratitude

A peaceful, sovereign, soulful kind of attitude

Beyond interests that would plunder

What if the OR was a glass bridge away from a holistic birthing center

Yet the birthing center was no mere renter

But sovereign and legally separate

Owned by midwives and holistically trained people

With nothing to gain from hurrying things along

Or, fearing litigation, jumping to cut the baby out of the womb too soon

When, a midwife would have appropriately given the mother room

What if instead of a pill or a pointy thing for every problem

There were a community for every category of complaint with wisdom sharing

and the communion of caring, support and accountability; with lay leaders trained, from the ranks of those who no longer wish to work full-time -whether the exodus of nurses or retired folks, or people on disability who can still contribute, or moms who focused on life at home, and now are ready to let their potential have more room to roam

Although healing and cure can occur in isolation, integration of healing and curing processes is essential for the fulfillment of the human potential for healing. Second, humans are complex, multidimensional beings, and cohesion of body, mind, and spirit is a hallmark of healing. Third, individuals are influenced by and influence each other and their physical environments.
