Pine is a good remedy for people who feel Peter Pan
like, as though they never properly grew up or
stepped into their full powers as an adult to create
your own reality, your own kingdom around you. It is
also perfect for people who have acquiring more and
more book learning confused with real knowledge or
wisdom.
There once was a man who knew everything, but had done
nothing. As such, he felt safe and extremely powerful.
He was always giving good advice to everyone, whether
they wanted to hear it or not; and his theoretical
knowing of all things at all times was veritably
frightening.
One day he was in his home, and a winter storm blew the
front door from its rusty hinges. It got very cold and
the fire in the hearth became extinguished. The man
examined the hinges and was well pleased to have
discovered what had happened and to know exactly where
things had gone wrong. He also knew how to collect iron
ore, how to smelt it and how to fashion new hinges for
the door.
He further knew all about woodwork and the effects of
prolonged exposure to the cold, and so many people were
quite surprised to find him, stiff as a board, frozen to
death, right there, in the middle of his house, a few
days later. |
