Reflecting our notion of body
The medical system reflects our thoughts about our bodies.
It is primarily a fresh and blood system.
Not an energy system.
Not a spiritual system.
For if it were the differences between
church and hospital,
Psychologist and psychiatrist,
Thought and matter,
would be blurred.
