Earth calling....

"Slow Down Make a Sacred Sound...Get your feet on the ground...make a Sacred Sound."

I've had Diane Patterson's song "Sacred Sound" rolling around in my brain for weeks. (http://www.dianepatterson.org/Diane/Recordings.html)  An awesome song the whole lyrics are absolutely beautiful but the chorus hit me again and again as I was headed for a week of camping.  I walked barefoot in a stream every day last week and it felt so good.  I breathed sacred sounds.
I had brought the latest Utne Rerader which had an article on "Earthing."
Popped in a bookstore on the way home and there was "Earthing-the most important health discovery ever?" a summary of the theory and benefits of electrically grounding. Bought it, read it: cute but you can get the gist from the FAQ's on the website: http://www.earthinginstitute.net/
Interesting physiological glance at the importance of being in contact with Earth as it seems to have effects on inflammation and the endocrine system.  Check it out.
I am off to walk barefoot on the beach.

My Grandfather's wisdom:

Eat well,
Exercise well,
and Sleep well,
All three with people you like.


Possible addendum:
August Fincke had been the violinist in a band before medical school and I want to sing so should I be fortunate to procreate I would like to add Play music/Sing to the list if it doesn't seem to unwieldy.
