Bernie Siegel's insights on:

"

In this view of the world, we spend the rest of our lives searching for wholeness and knowledge, wellness and health-the balance and harmony we lost when we were born. If our wholeness is interrupted, then our health suffers, and we need to find a way to restore our sense of meaning. When we move in the direction of that meaning, we're healing.

"
Today I am amazed at the things our children have done and their wide range of interests. They are all living their lives and not the ones I would have planned for them.
