Healthcare Stories Needed: Submitting stories about the everyday impacts of our healthcare system is the single-most effective way to build the healthcare movement.

And keep an eye on this website – we’ll soon be collecting stories through the web!

What follows in the quality of our helping when we begin to know ourselves beyond separateness? .We are not so much helping out, then, because it is "me" needing to tend to "you". We're helping out because it is "us". The more we understand and dwell in that truth, the more we serve simply in the way of things. If any of "Us" needs help. If one of "Our" arms gets caught in a door, naturally we use the other of "Our" arms to set it free. Helping happens not because it's been weighed and considered; it happens because the barriers to its lawful and automatic expression have fallen away.
- from How Can I Help?
