Bite-Size Chinese Medicine

Quick notes mostly about fitting old-world wisdom into a modern American life.

Give and take

In Eastern philosophy, the Earth is a symbol for all that is generative and nourishing in the Universe.

It is our model for how to give basic needs (food, water, shelter, care). And how to receive them.

The Earth gives without judgement, no matter what a person has done.

And her gifts show no signs of being finite, so long as everyone takes honorably.
