Organ-ic
Speaking with a healer friend of mine in Alaska the other day. We got on one of our talking-discovery tracks. She gave me a good explanation of how the digestive system works. I could see each of our organs as beings with needs, loves and hates. I felt my organs leaning in to tell me what they needed. I could see that each has a personality, a need for attention because they want to function beautifully. Even the lowly colon has dignity.

in chinese medicine, each organ houses an emotion. an organ pair (there are pairs, based on principle of empty and full) emits a certain smell and responds to a particular sound. each organ pair thrives in one type of weather, and wilts in another. the pathway that the organ's energy travels is called a meridian. this is where many acupuncture points are.
last week i listened to a podcast about horses and the chinese medicine understanding of the heart. i couldn't help but think of your poem. here is the link, if you are interested:
