WHY ~ CAUSE and EFFECT...

 WHY ~ CAUSE and EFFECT

I, from the time I was able to say the word WHY, to this very moment, WHY stands as my ongoing question. As a student of science, it was a called for exploration. it was a word basic to the understanding, of CAUSE and EFFECT. It brought one to understand the underlying principles of form, of structure, of function. The WHY became the exploration within the sciences, within the arts, within the consciousness of Life and BEING.
There was ever the search for the WHY, for CAUSE and EFFECT, be it in biology, physics, chemistry, psychology, physiology, quantum physics, mathematics, geometry... ever the pursuit of the WHY. As a professional master educator since 1960, as an Educational Consultant/Therapist, in private practice since 1983, as a proclaimed Woman of Distinction in 2021, WHY has not ceased to drive me to search, to explore and to discover relationships of CAUSE and EFFECT.

With the NEWS of those plagued with substance abuse, with addictions, with suicides, we are to understand the pain and come forth with viable understanding and support. 

The WHY resounds ever so loudly when hearing of a 'shooter' who has brought merciless loss of innocent life. We are charged to ask WHY... charged to be more fully aware of the WHY ... charged to become knowing of CAUSE, so as to initiate, put in place, and sustain that which can offset a consequential, problematic, hurtful, regretful, horrific, EFFECT!

In the name of care, in the name of concern, in the name of resolution, in the name of protection, in the name of PREVENTION, our children, our youth, deserve our commitment, our understanding, our action, our care. YES, we are to ask, WHY? WHY? WHY?

A Mystery, A Wonderment, A Miracle...



C A N C E R   … free of its ravages for 36 years… 
and what has been its plea… but to fully embrace 
Creation, Awareness, Need, Commune, Evolution, Restoration… 
and so here offered … a perspective … 
a journey to wellness ...

As I more intimately observe nature,  and our animal kingdom, the more I appreciate what is to be explored, discovered, and ultimately known.  The expression of plant or animal life,  be it a seed, or an egg, calls for commune to assure its potential bloom or to evolve into a living animal form. Each provides and receives by order of the great intelligence of creation.

There is a mystery, a wonderment, a miracle to all of life. When a most beautiful fish from my Koi pond was taken and attacked by a raccoon, and left on the side of the pond to die, it soon was covered with maggots. The sight was initially horrifying. After gasping at the scene, I questioned, “how” and “why”. Life in its seemingly insatiable quest for receiving, giving, creating, consuming, became astonishing vivid. Yes, there was a clarity, a new appreciation, a new understanding, of the forces and the way of nature. Yes, a clarity as to how this too, may well be the why of illness, dysfunction, disease. 

Thirty-six years ago I was ravaged by cancer. I longed to understand the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ At this very moment an awakened awareness of ‘cause’ and ‘effect’ has brought me to consider the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of a particular site of cancerous growth. A clear explanation has revealed itself. I have come to see disease as the ‘effect’  of that which is compromised, not given its intended and needed  energy, not given creative and acceptable and/or approved outlets for its potential, not supported for its function, not nourished for its needs, not understood for its cell communication, not seen as a part that calls to the whole, not seeing that the science and art of life is the interface of the triune of body, mind, spirit. We are our conception, our birth, our evolution.  How we are cared for, how we are valued, how we are supported, how we meet the challenges of our growth, our development,  how nurturance is provided, how the environment allows the elements of earth, water, fire, air, sound, light, to serve our myriad and diversity of needs, purposes, and visions, are to be placed into awareness. Yes, the ultimate HOW and WHY, the understanding of CAUSE and EFFECT, call for responsive knowing individually and collectively. 

Every living form calls for its survival, its purpose to be fulfilled. We are not separate from being supported by, or destroyed by, each of the five elements, symbolized by the sacred geometry of the Five Platonic Solids. We are the active recipients of each element, that of earth, water, fire, air. When in balance, and in accord with the needs of a living organism, life holds to its myriad of expressions. The fifth element refers to the very spirit of life in its expressive communication, light, and intent. The wisdom of the ancients, that of Egypt, India, China, Early Greek and Roman… calls our attention to the forces of nature, be it of animal, be it of plant, or be it of the celestial realms. Appreciating and understanding the art and science of sound, the art and science of energy pathways, the art and science of the chakra vortexes, have and continue to serve my health, my wellbeing creatively, artistically, professionally, and my ever present awe with life in its myriad of forms, functions, structures, responses, and beauty.

And , YES... The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” ~Albert Einstein

Newtown Tragedy... horror... senseless loss... unspeakable pain, and then the tear driven question of broken hearts, WHY??


Tragedy... horror... senseless loss... unspeakable pain, and then the tear driven question of broken hearts, WHY??

A balance between the "right to bear arms" and protection from those who misuse this right to bring harm to innocent children, must be attained. A knife, a gun, by itself is not the "killer," it is the person that uses a weapon that brings forth the tragic loss of life. We must look at CAUSE - what moves one to kill, as opposed to the EFFECT alone. Every BEING is born innocent of crime... what has life taught a child, a teen, an adult, that leads to killing the innocent? Prevention, support of a troubled child, a distraught teenager, a frantic adult, must be provided. Medication is NOT the solution... it has been shown to bring about other aberrant behaviors without necessarily correcting the initial difficulties. SEEK CAUSE... for only then will resolve be attained.

As an educational therapist I have worked with many troubled children. When understood for their pain, when supported in their needs, when respected for their differences, CHANGE takes place. Positive transformations take hold. No longer is the child driven by frustration, confusion, and anger. No longer does the child have to lash out to feel a sense of power, no longer does the child feel hopeless in light of judgments and demands it may not be able to satisfy easily. Through supports that identify nutritional needs, guidance that is humanistic, activities that are creative and empowering, the child renews his/her sense of Self, all this WITHOUT medication, without harsh punishment. Look into the eyes of a young child... seen be the dreams, the love, yet present. When does it change? Why does it change? YES, WE ARE TO SEEK CAUSE..WE ARE TO BE PROACTIVE... and WISE ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND NEED... before it fuels destruction, tragedy and senseless killings.
