I saw this ad from the 1950’s a few weeks ago. Since then I’ve been writing a post in my mind about it.

But a recent cut reminded me of how the body also knows how to heal itself. Without having to do anything more than use an anti-biotic to prevent infection, I watched a cut on – Read More –
Today, perhaps because it is a full moon, I have been deeply considering the concept of time.
