[stylist] Another poem about alternative healing

Mon Jun 11 16:33:12 UTC 2012

Ashley,
The poem, Medicine Wheel, is no special form. If a poem is not accepted
after the first few submissions, I try changing the form among other things.
Also, I forgot to mention, in your critique of Reiki Magic, I truly
appreciate the time you took to tell me the lines you liked the most. That
is a very helpful thing to do for a poet, and often takes more than one
reading.
I truly appreciate your interest in the many facets of poetry.
Jackie

Jackie,
Oh, I see. Scott was the boy you wrote
about then and your friend built a medicine wheel for you.
What sort of poem is it? I noticed you created a shape with the lines since 
many are indented.

Ashley,
Scott is my son who disappeared at age 20 and whose remains were not found
until 14 years later on top of Black Mountain in Arizona.

Myrna,
I do not know what happened to "Bubbles" which was about Transcendental
Meditation, but I will try this one about healing stones, and the medicine
wheel.
What an interesting story about your grandmother, and background, and a good
reason for an innate interest in alternative healing.
I searched all of the avenues when my son disappeared, and one was through
American Indian practices since my son had studied them extensively.
A friend in Idaho built a medicine wheel for Scott, and for my use also in
the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. Everything in this poem is true to my
search for meaning at this time. I still have his medicine bag filled with
healing stones hanging above my bed
Somehow, I still feel, however, that the true healing comes from the writing
about it all. It gives a permanence to the thoughts and feelings.
Unfortunately, Marcy has written me that the medicine wheel has been
destroyed by vandals, or hikers. But it was there when I needed it.

Count me in!  For a very special and personal  reason I would so look
forward to this.  My grandmother was a midwife and  herbal healer, or
'treateuse', in the Cajun culture.  She delivered over  500 babies during
her time and
I was the last of these deliveries so when I saw  I was born in the small
community I grew up in, I mean I was born and raised  there.  I can remember

helping my grandmother crush the herbs she made teas  with and also
ointments.  I wrote what I suppose might be called a 'memoir'  about her
called 'The
Willows Weep'.  She was a special lady and was loved  by so many.  She did
not speak much English though she could understand  quite a bit of it.  I,
on
the other hand, understood the French but did not  speak it well.  So she
spoke French to me and I spoke to her and we  understood each other
perfectly.  I know that was a long story just to say  I'm interested too but
I wanted
to share why I was so interested in  it.

Oh Atty,  That is a wonderful idea. How do we do it? I am totally up for it.
Not just  alternative healing though,but preventative health and natural
living. All  geared for the blind. We all do input and learn from each
other. Let's do  it. Let's do it. I am sure Lynda would also be on board.
Peace be with us,  Eve
