Pocket Medicine





                                                           






















The Peace Of Wild Things 
        by Wendell Berry


When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, 
I go and lie down where the wood drake 
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. 
I come into the peace of wild things 
who do not tax their lives with forethought 
of grief. I come into the presence of still water. 
And I feel above me the day-blind stars 
waiting with their light. For a time 
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. 


























[Happy Poem in Your Pocket Day! (To read the poem I chose last year, click here). For me, poetry IS medicine, and so placing a hand copied poem next to my insulin pump becomes a symbolic gesture of healing. I love the idea that the message Mr. Berry conveys here is working synergistically with my insulin to bring me to a place of peace and well-being. What poem did/would you choose for your pocket today?]

  6. A negligible expansion in this proportion can mean a critical expansion in your business' benefit. For instance, think about a clinical expert in the eating regimen business. This specialist had possibilities approaching the telephone subsequent to perusing his business directory promotion, yet he didn't have any idea the number of them were coming in for arrangements. He began monitoring names and addresses and sent data out to those intrigued. Follow-up calls were made and arrangements set. This a single action expanded business by 25%.

  8. I hear every so often on news shows the patent time is currently 12 years yet I haven't seen this long term patent time span in "Wikipedia" or elsewhere. All I see are long term patent time spans. I looked around and figured out after the drug is designed and a patent applied it might require close to 8 years to get FDA endorsed which passes on 12 years for the drugs to stay on a patent.
