alchemist, healer, green man, reveler indeed
well-named shamanic friend, arcane mentor:
one can either while endless hours away with

of which sorcerers' dreams and divine visions are made
as traveled as shiva in the east became bacchus in the west
so too thy knowledge and wisdom spans our pacific rim
combining both eastern wisdom and western pragmatics:
may ever more others benefit from thy generous gifts!

A kiss can 'cure hayfever'

A new study says a passionate 30-minute kiss can help relieve the
misery of hayfever. Researchers found kissing relaxes the sufferer
and reduces production of histamine which triggers hayfever, reports
the Mirror. A team at Satou Hospital in Japan told 24 men and women
with hayfever to spend 30 minutes kissing their partners while
