Tao of Pooh

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind, "Pooh! ", he whispered. "Yes, Piglet?"  "Nothing.", said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. "I just wanted to be sure of you ".   (I love this one. JC)

Our society, today, is so different from the original days of development of Chiropractic. Today's "modern" societies have created, for themselves, stressers, and a Dark Side of consciousness and dis-ease, which did not exist in the proportions, as they do today.

Mental stress, chemical toxicity, electromagnetic radiation, nutritionally deplete foods, and physical overloads exist today, as they never have before. While our healing "miracles" still happen,  we as a people must take responsibilities for other important aspects of our lives, which persist to drive further irritability into our delicate nervous systems.

The following links are an excellent source of thoughts of ease and healing. Other links will be provided, here, also. To add a special link, please write me.

Lines Written by a Bear of  "Very Little Brain":

On monday, when the sun is hot I wonder to myself allot: 
"Now is it true, or is it not 
That what is which and which is what?" 

On tuesday, when it hails and snows, 
The feeling on me grows and grows 
That hardly anybody knows,
 If those are these or these are those. 

On wednesday, when the sky is blue, 
And I have nothing else to do, 
I sometimes wonder if it's true 
That who is what and what is who. 

On thursday, when it starts to freeze,
 And hoar-frost twinkles on the trees,
 How very readily one sees
 That these are whose-but whose are these? 

(A. A. Milne The World of Pooh)

With a song, a little something I just made up."

How can you get very far if you don't know who you are?
How can you do what you ought if you don't know what you have got?
And if you don't know which to do
Of all the things in front of you
Then what you will have when you are through
Is just a mess without a clue
Of all the best that can come true
If you know what and which and who

That's it, he said leaning back and closing his eyes.

( "The Tao of Pooh" is an outstanding book by Benjamin Hoff, explaining the principles of Taoism through Winnie the Pooh, and Winnie the Pooh through the principles of Taoism. For wonderful information regarding the Vinegar Tasters Scroll painting, please visit this site.)
