“I think you wrote this introduction just for me! I’ve been waiting for a guide who can take me right into the labyrinth, without having to endure a prerequisite course of ‘excuse me, where is the post office’… I love how Chinese medicine is so right-brain, so symbolic, metaphorical, each word carrying layers and textures of meaning. I feel as though Classical Chinese texts are the music of the medicine and I can’t wait to start exploring!”
