Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from all of the staff and practitioners at One Sky Wellness Associates!

We will be closed for the holiday on Monday 12/31 and Tuesday 1/1. We have been having some voice mail difficulty lately but if you phone us (206 363.5555) during the holiday, you will be able to obtain the number for the on-call doc. If you want to leave a message and don't get that option, you can email us at and we'll get back to you on Wednesday 1/2. Remember that pharmacy refills need to be phoned into your pharmacist and they will contact us if necessary.

May 2008 be a year of increased joy and health for all.

Morning Poem

Every morning
the world
is created.
Under the orange

sticks of the sun
the heaped
ashes of the night
turn into leaves again

and fasten themselves to the high branches ---
and the ponds appear
like black cloth
on which are painted islands

of summer lilies.
If it is your nature
to be happy
you will swim away along the soft trails

for hours, your imagination
alighting everywhere.
And if your spirit
carries within it

the thorn
that is heavier than lead ---
if it's all you can do
to keep on trudging ---

there is still
somewhere deep within you
a beast shouting that the earth
is exactly what it wanted ---

each pond with its blazing lilies
is a prayer heard and answered
lavishly,
every morning,

whether or not
you have ever dared to be happy,
whether or not
you have ever dared to pray.

~ Mary Oliver ~
