Excerpts

"Food cannot ever really be separated from love. It’s in our biology. The impulse and instinct to eat is wired as deep as the human heart. It’s laced and threaded in spirals that wrap into the intricate play of love, bone, blood, fascia, tissue, muscles, and brilliant organ systems we eventually become."

"If we return to an idea of Reverence for Earth and the possibility of healing and growing in cycles, we harness the possibility of a deeper connection, both to ourselves and our intuition, that will guide us daily. In addition, connection to a culture, connection to a place, and connection to the nourishment of that place serves as a compass to keep us anchored and true."

“I am proud to offer support for this unique book about health and healing and LOVE! As a seasonally oriented (cycle-ologist) physician and author of Staying Healthy with the Seasons, I embrace Merrill's Earth Medicine approach.
