Today's thought:
Humans are healthy when they are animated by vitality; in turn, when humans use their vitality to animate ideas, materials or sounds, it refreshes their own sense of vitality. Throughout history, human kind has developed this activity surrounding rituals for times when they feel least vital: death, illness, catastrophe, or fear of such; or when they feel most vital: birth, bonding, spiritual awakening, or awe.
This summary was written in response to a course I am taking at the University of Florida concerning the history of human health and healing and the arts. I would be glad for any reactions others might have to this and further the thinking and discovery in this area.
