Welcome to the Healing Library

Welcome to The Healing Library, an eclectic and annotated catalog of stories, poems, novels, books, essays, and tales, all with at least the potential to catalyze and contribute to healing.  You can think of this site, if you like, as a kind of reading room.  I'm picturing one of those rooms with doors leading into other rooms, and those rooms leading into yet other rooms.  I hope you'll feel free to browse here at your leisure.

If you’re visiting here for the first time you may want to begin at the Table of Contents.

Or at Reading and Healing Ideas, where I've put up some pieces about the process of reading and healing.

The library is now in its infancy.  (The first bookcase in the reading room?)  It's also growing.  A new entry will be added each week, on Mondays, and will appear at the top of my NEW page.  If you’d like the new entry delivered to your e-mail box you can learn about subscribing here.  Or you may want to consider subscribing in a feed reader which you can learn more about here.  

I write this from North Carolina in the U.S, where I also work as a physician practicing mind-body medicine.  The choices of titles here are my own.  At the same time they're informed by the thousands of experiences I’ve had with patients (along with assorted others, including many readers of this site) and all that I’ve learned with them and from them about healing.  Thank you to everyone who has contributed in some way.

And thank you for visiting.  I invite and welcome your comments and suggestions which you can send using the email link in the upper left-hand corner.  Or you can just click to say hi, that you're visiting.  I look forward to hearing from you.
