The healers or shamans of prehistoric gathering societies wandered the forests, filling their medicine bags with green leaves from a myriad or plants and trees. Narrow and pale, broad and bold, fingered and jagged-edged, each leaf was coveted for its specific healing property. The varied greens of a forest landscape, a meadow or a backyard garden offer us healing when we spend restorative time with them. From renewal and healing come growth and transformation.
The [prose and poems] in...this section tell of healing - not only physical healing, but also the healing and growth of mind and spirit. These components - mind, body and spirit - are completely intertwined, with each having a strong impact on the others.
