a fountain, and every graceful arch of steel cables in a suspension bridge is a parabola. The parabola represents the epitome
of a quest. Iit is a curving line that sails outward and returns with a new expansion—and perhaps a new content,
like the flung net of a Japanese fisherman. It is the metaphorical journey to a particular point, and then back home, along
a similar path perhaps, but in a different direction, after which the traveler is essentially, irrevocably changed."

Shaking Medicine
Bradford Keeney's extradordinary work with healing
through surrendering to the body's natural movements of shaking, practiced by many older cultures and ecstatic traditions. Sadly,
when people in western culture sometimes experience involuntary shaking, they are afraid of it and try to stop it. Bradford explains: "Shaking medicine
is the trembling, shaking, and quaking associated with the experience of ecstatic bliss. This major transformative experience
is an entry into the numinous – the mysterium tremendum et fascinans. Arguably all religions and pre-religions
initially felt this ecstasy and regarded it as an awakening of the original mysteries, the most extraordinary
experiences possible for a human being."
