Its storming. After a bit of glorious early spring sun, the rains have come in abundance. I'm grateful. Gazing out a window, mind wandering through green fields with loved ones and a frisbee when you have to stay inside with a sharpened pencil and complete what needs to be done is difficult on the mind in terms of focus and attention to detail. Much easier to complete work when the weather is more conducive to staying inside in a seated position. It's "that time of year" again. Make lists, cross things off the list, make more lists, loose the list, panic, make another list, find the list you already made, combine the two together for an even bigger list. Make a schedule, revise it daily, hope nothing unexpected comes up, three unexpected events land on your lap, try to make another schedule. And so it goes, on and on, at least for a little while. So I am taking my blessing where I can, and for now I'm just happy for the rain.
We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one.

ayurveda is the most popular holistic forms of medicine that has originated in India, and is now rapidly spreading around the world. Ayurveda is a combination of two Sanskrit words, ayus meaning 'life' and veda meaning 'knowledge'. Hence, Ayurveda literally means 'the knowledge of life'.
Indians believe that Ayurveda originated as a form of medicine for the gods. Even in the Ramayana (which is believed to be several millennia old), we have a reference of how Hanuman brings the Sanjivani herb to revive Lakshmana, who is mortally wounded in the battlefield at Lanka. Dhanwantari, the physician of the gods, is believed to be the one who discovered Ayurveda. Ayurveda was brought from the realms of the gods to the human race by Charaka, who wrote the Ayurvedic treatise, Charaka Samhita, which is regarded venerably even today. Sushruta later wrote a compendium of his own, Sushruta Samhita, which has several amendments over the methods detailed in the Charaka Samhita.
