Years of alternative spiritual exploration and work as a naturopath and midwife (and later as a medical editor in a major cancer center) finally led me right back 'round to the way we eat -- energy is life, and food is energy... so... by concatenative assemblage, food is life... I've had the joy of having much of my mobility restored after 10 years of challenges with MS, etc., thanks to moving to barefoot mobility and primal nutrition and fitness, and now, I incorporate those into the spiritual path that I walk and share, as well as incorporating pieces of the philosophies into the fiction I write, and helping the folks at the day-job to have a chance to heal themselves as well.
