Completion out of the void
Completion out of the void A Healer, or one who can Heal… By Akil-Kuumba Kelley Knowledge of Herbal Medicine is a gift that keeps giving, as glad as I am to be in this field, I never chose it. Instead, it descended upon me. I was first introduced to herbal medicine through foraging wild foods. Since I had learned that several wild plants are not only edible but quite tasty, I was enamored with the idea. I thus decided to make a wild foods cookbook as my high school senior project, even then I had not considered being an herbalist. As my school focused primarily on college prep the future was monotone as far as opportunity was concerned.

The Time Traveler and the Peasant
The Time Traveler and the Peasant. He went into the future, he went into the past to see what has been, and what will become. On his journey the greatest present was his friendship with a peasant, who wrote in a jade green pen. The Time Travelers friend spoke about his greatest possessions, the endless notebooks, a collection of pen strokes. In the mind of the Time Traveler it was nonsense. Having seen and collected the most sought after treasures on earth. At least until his friend proposed a test to gain respect. Saying only, “pick a time and I will see you there” Perplexed, but interested non the less, the time traveler picked a date far in the future. Looking at his eye soar of a watch, and quickly setting it for travel. He told his friend the precise date, time, and coordinates then vanished into the nonlinear abyss of time. The Peasants’ lips now folding back to expose a grin of gums, sat in his favorite wooden chair. Then removing a tucked away notebook, opened to a fresh blank page. He scribbled for a few hours burning the midnight oil. Writing in detail about the challenge, the date, and the place he was to meet the Time Traveler. Then blowing out the lantern slept with a peaceful mind and a content heart.
