"Let no one be deluded that a knowledge of the path can be a substitute for putting one foot in front of the other" - M.C. Richards
Who may you ask is M.C. Richards? Ms. Richards was a poet, potter, essayist, translator and a painter. Her most famous book was Centering in Pottery, Poetry and the Person. She was my kind of lady.
I want you to take out your Olympic Rings diagram. Already you have the top right and center ring filled with allergies/carbohydrates and pH, respectively. We now will complete the lower left circle so circles 1 above right, 2 center and 3 lower left will all be connected in a Venn diagram. A Venn diagram is a set of diagrams that show all hypothetically possible logical relations between a finite collection of sets (groups of things). In ours, it is the relationship between carbohydrates, allergies, pH and inflammation. When the carbohydrate intake is high, the pH of the body is acidic and there is inflammation. The other scenario is when there are food allergies present, the pH of the body is acidic and there is inflammation.
The diagram all the way to the right side of the blog is a Venn diagram. I am not great at computer arranging so I will have to ask Rick or Gregory to help. In this diagram DOGS = Carbohydrates/Allergies; HUMANS = pH and LIZARDS = Inflammation. There is a relationship between all three. Later, we will add two more circles - a mirror image of the Venn diagram below. Where is the inflammation? Yikes, it is in the small intestines. This is the area between where the stomach ends and the large intestines begin.
The cross stitch book marker is one of my favorites. I just happened to start doing this pattern. It looks Victorian to my eyes. During the summer, I made at least 20 bookmarks. They were sold in our Green Store in Cherry Grove, Fire Island called Simply Green.

Until tomorrow... more anatomy
