You will find, one day, the one person who needs your one story, that day, in whatever the circumstances, more than he needs your prayers or your advice. You also may never find that person, but he will hear your story nonetheless, unknown to you. And your story will be the singular gift that will turn away the beasts. I promise you that. The gifts we have been given are many and the gift of story is the container in which they meet to form a powerful medicine. - From Ordinary Recovery by William Alexander

LOVE THIS!

They asked a shaman

"What is poison?
- Anything beyond what we need is poison.
It can be power, laziness, food, ego, ambition, vanity, fear, anger, or whatever.

- What is fear?
Non acceptance of uncertainty
If we accept uncertainty, it becomes adventure.

What is envy?
- No acceptance of good in the other.
If we accept good, it becomes inspiration.

What is anger?
- No acceptance of what is beyond our control.
If we accept, it becomes tolerance.

What is hate?
- Non-acceptance of people as they are
If we accept unconditionally, it becomes love. "

“The good news is science has progressed to the point where we can now prove that the mammalian nervous system is designed to seek and enhance safety and health through mutually-supportive relationships with people and animals. The research my colleagues and I have been doing over the last five years, in particular, show us why the human-animal bond is particularly effective in relieving stress, enhancing physiological and psychological health, and helping us to not only regain our humanity but to truly thrive in life.”- Linda Kohonav
