Occupation and health
In Charlottetown I heard one day
An OT to an old man say
'You look so happy and fit
Can you tell me the cause of it
'It's what you do
It's being true to all the talents given you
It's taking time, and listening to
Your inner needs in all you do.'
'If you do this you will become
A person full of love and fun
A happy soul who's fit and well
By doing what your needs foretell.
If doing does not meets your needs
Your health will suffer with your deeds.
Not being true to Nature's lore
You can become sick to the core.'
The old man smiled to the OT.
He said 'Help people do and be
Help them transform their lives this way
By living health day by day.'
It's very simple, but so hard
When social pressure so retard
Our vision of what ought to be
The essence of a good OT. "- Wilcock, A.A (1998)
