  • This is a photo from my home yesterday, during a n This is a photo from my home yesterday, during a not a-typical April snow. I enjoy the sight of fresh snow on flowering branches. The tree in the center is a type of Flowering cherry (Prunus species) and, unfortunately, it is in its dotage years. The tree to the left with yellow flowers is a Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas) and I’ve noticed that a few have escaped, and have started growing on the land here. 
Today, nearly all the snow is gone and we are back to a chilly moist early spring day

    If you live in the Ithaca, Cortland area of Upstat If you live in the Ithaca, Cortland area of Upstate, NY, may I suggest visiting some of the beautiful bogs of the region?  Within a few miles of each other, there is McLean Bog, Chicago bog (this photo), and Malloryville bog. There is also the Lime Hollow Nature preserve. I don't see many people while walking along the trails, which I appreciate. If you need more information, let me know. ~7Song, April 14, 2021
    While interviewing a potential student recently, t While interviewing a potential student recently, they asked me “What do I hope my students gain from the class.” This is not the first time I’ve been asked this question, but I wanted to think it through to avoid giving a rote answer. And I realized that the concept I hope that all students gain from these programs is the importance of critical thinking in health care. This means understanding how tricky treating an individual can be and the ephemeralness of health. This is true with all forms and modalities of medicine. Many people come to herbalists when other options have not worked out for them, including chronic conditions such as fatigue, pain, anxiety, as well as long-term health issues with cardiovascular, respiratory, and other body systems. The thing is, there are hundreds of moving parts and billions of individual cells making up each individual, and the balance between these can be tenuous. Some people just seem to be healthy most of the time, no matter what befalls them, while others have to constantly struggle to maintain their health. 
To me, the goal of critical thinking means letting go of the thought that health care, herbal or otherwise, is easy and to embrace the complexity.
