Affordable Health Care Does Exist!!! Seek the mysterious.



Rode my bike to an affordable sliding-scale community acupuncture clinic. Got needled.
Affordable healthcare DOES exist, i.e.:


bike ride = exercise, biking is good. It is sight seeing, it is rhythm (of pedaling and breathing), it clears one's thoughts, it is comfortable and fun, fresh air enters the lungs more than usual, the heart pumps more than usual, but not too much! Nurture your heart!!! Biking is good for the health.
Needles = the mysterious. The clinic is more than just needles, it is a calm safe environment where stress does not exist. There is peaceful music and comfy chairs with doctors who have clear attentive eyes that seem to be so "in the now" each time I go and that kind of eye contact is contagious. The Doctor puts those needles in, and my muscles twitch here and release there. One must sit silently for about an hour; and that is good. Needles in skin, here and there, do mysterious things. The universe is mysterious, and so is existence.
