Barbara Rager's description of the journey she's on to foster the healing process within herself called to mind another woman I greatly admire named Vivian Verdon-Roe. She is an academy award-winning filmmaker for her film Healing the Planet and the last I knew was also a lecturer and distributer of documentary videos along that theme. She tells the story of having been in a car accident which left her back in great pain and her future mobility questionable and of experiencing healing through her own spiritual journey. Upon hearing the diagnosis of PD and learning the implications of that diagnosis, something within us besides the physical dopamine-producing cells is attacked.. Often our very innermost concept of self and self-worth is impaired and needs to be healed. Ridding our air of toxins--chemical (body) and psychological (mind)--appears to me to make sense, and may need be accomplished at both the personal and societal levels. I am grateful for the intellect, feistiness, humor, deep thoughts, minute informational details, trials, successes--in sum the spirit which exudes daily from this list, and prejudicially I admit, especially by the many voices of Barbaras!
