community is the new normal
( sing to popular holiday jingle about bells)
Community is the new normal
health is really fun.
community acupuncture normalizes healing
in your local area
nana nana mmmmm oooooWWEE
making spirits bright
de de de de
(well, ok , I am no William Joel)
As I dissolve into my community practice
and attempt to reach out to share this tremendous gift of nothingness to more folks
sometimes fretting the how
and how much of a theory of outreach or marketing
I love the simplicity and sublties of changes now in my life:
the community is showing Me who they are and what they need
it seems all I have is smile and learn to welcome this
....easy to say and harder to non-do
it seeems I worked far too hard before running a 13p/week BA
trying to edu-sell acupuncture and myself
Now Who worries?
I am just a guy with pointy sticks and a state liscense to jab them.....appropriately ,of course
Point selections fall together as the whispers and pulse flow
nobody could have told my fancy brain that before
then there is a bunch of folks from around town
stuck and chillin' in this nonplussing room, shut! up!
they are not isolated and / or given weird paragraphs to read
about what I will do with their privacy or
have underlying dread of an explanation of "benefits" notice to come
they paid their bill already
and they are enjoying that dessert of
personal~collective quantuum aerobics
but WOW
Its like waking up and finding out that there is water
and saying
oh, so, I was thirsty, huh
many of us are.
thanks for passing the dipper,

Re: community is the new normal
Wow this is like the craziest blog ever! And how totally not normal! I love it!
Side note- one fabulous tidbit of fact: the guy who wrote Jingle Bells is from Medford, MA and there's an enscription on the building of our new acupuncture office space that says so- so it's quite fitting you've made a song with it! :) We'll have to remember to sing it to our patients next year! Brilliant work!
Re: community is the new normal
oops, sorry wrong blog
Re: community is the new normal
nice! the part about you waking up and your teacher already awake doing his sadhana by 5a.m. is a nice little kick in the butt i need to start getting up earlier! the cold is making getting up early seem very not fun come morning time
Re: community is the new normal
I might die without your blogs James.
Cheers.
