Good to have you back Tom! I look forward to reading both your old and
new posts. I was still new to the list when you left yet was quite sad
to see you go.
The Plant Spirit Medicine article reminds me of just how cut off we are
from our roots of spiritual and shamanistic healing. Our ancestors were
very much in touch with these sources of power and I think raw food
eaters often focus too much on the physical aspects of health and
forget the spirit.

Words of wisdom for sure.

That would leave out most fruits. :-(
