Medicine
This most
ancient of arts does deal with healing,
Medicine
is the healing way;
Knowledge
refined into wisdom,
Enticing
the healing energies to play.
Diagnostics
allows us to understand,
What is
happening and why;
Examination,
question and evaluate,
To
uncover a pattern of symptoms and signs.
Thus we
can see clues that cause the imbalance,
And apply
Therapeutics to bring about homeostasis.
Fine
tuning the life towards health and harmony,
So the
person can stay with us.
Through
Prognostics, nature’s path is predicted,
So our
choices can be aligned with our vision;
If nature
cooperates and the person does too,
Disease
can find remission.
A Life is
most likely to succeed,
When it
appreciates the value of existence;
Otherwise
it becomes self-defeating,
Sabotaging
the healing with resistance.
Nurturing
and strengthening is preferable to potions,
While
pills and potions are preferable to the knife;
Surgery
is preferable to death,
Caring is
the most important cure for life.
Nursing
brings about the conditions,
That do care and
nourish;
Doctoring
repairs the vehicle,
And
provokes the life to flourish.
This way
of healing will continue to evolve,
As we
learn, gain skill, and pray;
For
medicine is the wisdom of our species,
The
caring, repairing and encouraging way.
