Our Craft

1/11/2018

Our craft as healers is not to
Make our patients eat better,
walk more, or sleep more
Deeply
It is not a craft of medicines
Of supplements or herbal
Remedies
Our craft as healers, is one of
creativity, compassion, and
Curiosity
We are artists at heart
Seeking to construct spaces
So our patients can be healed
Showing them through
Silence
That truth sleeps with
Stillness
And wisdom can only wake
When we pause and start to
Dream

Hey Dr B, thanks so much for your thoughtful message. All of the poetry is my own (Rob Abbott), I would be honored if you wished to share this particularly poem or any of the poems on the page, and you most certainly do not have to mention my name unless people want to know where to go to read more haha. Loved glancing through your own site and looks like you are doing some really wonderful work. Let me know if you wish to connect/collaborate. Take care. Rob
