Mind Health Matters with Dr. Bernie Siegel

Topic: The Importance of Writing Poems When we created this show, it was actually Dr. Bernie’s Birthday, so Lionel and Deborah were honored to spend sacred time on his special day. Dr. Bernie shares poems he wrote at different times in his life… one can feel the deep love he holds for his wife, all the while enjoying his humor. Thoughts on seeing the joy in everyday life are shared; some of the poems include Doctors in the Elevator, We Are Water & Spirit and Bittersweet. A Sample: A BEAUTIFUL BURDEN if you don’t go i’ll have a heavy heart if you do go i’ll have a hernia my wife and I often travel together we are a team sharing fair and foul weather at times our travel takes us into the air I carry all the luggage in order her back to spare i’ve heard love makes one’s burden lighter but Bobbie’s bags would burst if packed any tighter so I brave the chance of a hernia since she makes my day much brighter i’ve learned from traveling alone that the load is really no lighter
