To cut is to cure, the Surgeons motto

surgeon means person who heals by hand

Doctor means teacher

physician means practitioner of the natural sciences, of medicine.

These words are ubiquitous today, and everyone knows what they mean.

But what does it mean to heal?

Is it merely a conversion from a dis-ease, or is  true health the goal or the cure?

Is it an easy physical task? many would believe it is, both the healer and the healed.

But there is more to it that what we see.

more than just the tangible

Healing involves the soul,

the transfer of energy and light between individuals.

The person who sits beside the bed worrying,

the person who changes the linen

cleans up the trays

the person who sits and asks questions, finding out where the problem is, and what to do about it.

but some illness can not be healed,

some paths we all must walk eventually

But on a good day, the soul is complete, and the dis-ease abates

and even though the body may struggle and falter

even when the only healing to be done

is that of those left behind after the illness has won.
