It is hard to believe that it is November already. But it is.
October 28 marked the and of the Mayan Calendar. Certainly everything has changed and all of the systems, Corporations and banks are falling apart.
Just now I passed the occupy encampment in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Lancaster, Pennsylvania has a model occupy encampment and nonviolence is the rule. I went to the mayor's office here in Lancaster today to let him know how much we appreciate his leadership as pertains to the Occupy movement here.
Our mayor loves Harley-Davidson's. We gave him a book about Harley-Davidson motorcycles as a token of our appreciation.
Compassionate leadership is what is needed in all arenas right now. We certainly could use it in the hospitals where we work. Medicine has been taken over by the corporations, who are not people, contrary to what our Supreme Court thinks. The Corporations which have taken over medicine are the health insurance companies and the pharmaceutical companies.
But we can do better. Last night on my radio show, Donna Smith, documentary subject of Michael Moore's SiCKO, was my guest. We had a wonderful time. You can listen here.
We did discuss the sorry health care situation in this country. 100,000 people die every year here in America because they lack access to healthcare.
Here is my dog, Ulysses, with Trouble The Dog Duncan. Ulysses was ill when this was taken, but the presence of Trouble and about fifteen other interventions, helped Ulysses to recover.
Healing comes from unexplained sources more often than not. As nurses, we would do well to allow the healing to happen, and accept it rather than deny it.
As nurses, we do a much better job when we open our minds, rather than close them.
This whole radio show was a Prayer Reading which turned out to be auspicious. Soon after, my radio show was picked up by New World Library, publisher of Eckhart Tolle's books, to interview newly published authors. For that, I will be eternally grateful!
A Prayer Reading is something I thought I would try on the radio show, to see if this practice would be a good one to continue in the future.
Prayer is a Universal Language. Certainly everyone in any religion or spiritual walk of life has the inner vision to pray, prayerfully. This practice has a humbling effect upon the psyche. It is a meditation. And meditation is also a prayer.
So Prayer Readings will become a regular spot on my radio show. The next one will be in the New Year.
Today, I closed out my extra blogs here at typepad, and will be concentrating exclusively on my Typepad Blog. Excusively as far as Typepad is concerned. I realize I will be doing bedside nursing for awhile more. So I will have a few more thoughts about healing and nurse healing. Stay tuned.
Just because it seems like I've said everything it is possible to say about this subject, I realize, just as I have been writing prayers for these last two years, that a new seed is always waiting to germinate, always waiting to take root and grow.
There is a never ending abundance of ideas that when fueled with good will, go on to heal the world.
I pulled this video off one of the blogs I shut down. Some of you may have seen this before. Notice the reaction of Ulysses The Dog when he hears the word, "Riffle." He loves the river, the rocks on the bottom of the river and the fish that jump out of the water. Now that Autumn is here, and the nights are chilly, Ulysses and I are no longer swimming up to the rock and back.
