I have spent most of my life in science and medicine. It has created the wonderful opportunity to investigate the illnesses that my patients present. Now that I have begun my spiritual journey in contemplation I see more clearly the path I must take. Unlike a monastic I must seek the answer within as well with every opportunity to be present at the bedside of my patients. Spiritual teachers now take their place amongst my science and medicine teachers to sustain my journey. Non-duality is only one of the lessons I have learned along the way. For now the best medicine I can offer my patients is my presence.
