In an ancient village the wisest of the group unanimously and naturally became the leader and often the healer… without vote or rivalry. Villagers seeking counsel for heartbreak, ill temper or dis-ease would be greeted with these questions:

When did you stop dancing?

When did you stop singing?

When did you stop laughing?

When did you begin to hide from your own heart?

Without further banter, each villager knew what to do.
