Guest guest Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Emmanuel, Thank you for gracing me with your reply and lovely thoughts. 'Wonder less about the specific treatments of the practitioners of merit. Go a layer deeper and note the practice if you can. What was the practice that brought that treatment? Will you be able to practice the practice ... or only write down the herbs in that formula?' A piece of your soul shines through... I would only add that we often need to repeat the more mundane elements of a discipline before we can go beyond them and 'practice the practice', so merely writing down the herbs becomes an exercise that is an essential prelude to excel in their use or understand their application, n'est-ce pas? I am now thrust into the journey of writing my book (psychoactive herbs in veterinary behavior practice), and I am mired in a tangled web of international botany, ancient practices, contemporary science, and straining the few paltry neurons left to me since our daughter Julia was born 6 months ago. I find myself at the stage of 'merely writing down the herbs', but I am finding joy in this phase because I, like Julia, must learn to crawl before I can fly (practice the practice). I will strive to incorporate your wisdom in my days. And you can call me Dr. Cookie anytime!;-D Gratefully, Stefanie Dr. Stefanie Schwartz, DVM,MSc,DACVBDiplomate, American College of Veterinary BehavioristsDirector of Behavior Services, VCA South Shore Animal HospitalClin.Asst.Prof., Tufts University School of Veterinary MedicineNational Consultant, Antech Laboratories"Dr. Cookie"www.dr-cookie.comwww.gooddoggies.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
