# 148 Nature Heals

“The earth has music for those who listen.” 


Our backyard view
And listening is what I have been doing. Reading through numerous cancer educational articles I discovered scientists have found the connection between the powers of nature and healing--blood pressure, general health, obesity, mental health--to name a few.  After a week in the Tucson area, I can attest to the calming affect garnered from evenings gazing at the mountain views right from our comfy living room chairs.

Hiking the last few days has also brought nature right to our feet and seeing things from the scampering lizards to the blossoming Ocotillo trees are all similar to huge boosts of vitamin NSS (nature super strength).

Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, knew best the power received from surrounding oneself within Mother Earth's beauty. He humbly stated:

"Nature cures--not the physician."  Hippocrates


Wise words to heed.

Thanks for reading # 148 of 7777.
