Yum! Yum! Yum! Strawberries!
by Paulette Millis

Did you ever pick those delicious tiny strawberries that grow wild here in Saskatchewan? They begin blooming in June, with little white flowers on low plants, and the fruit comes from late June to July. When I was a child, my brother and I would set out for the pasture before breakfast to pick a cupful each for our mom to put on our fresh pancakes. Were they good! The seeds sown by birds are responsible for the wide distribution of wild strawberries, as the seeds pass through the birds intact. These seeds respond to light rather than moisture to start growing and therefore need no covering of earth.

Oil-free Travel
Why Not Start Now?
by Guy Dauncey

How will we travel, when the oil is gone? It’s not a stupid question, or something that belongs to science fiction. We all take oil for granted. It’s only 146 years since oil was first drilled in North America, but in that short time we have shaped our entire world around it. But pause for a moment, while I show you the numbers. The geologists’ estimates of the world’s total oil supply, laid down all those millions of years ago, range from 2 to 2.8 trillion barrels. We are getting through 29 billion barrels a year, and so far, we have consumed 990 billion barrels. If we carry on at this rate, the entire supply will be gone between 2039 and 2067. In reality, it will last a bit longer, because as soon as we enter the second half of the global supply, sometime between now and 2015, prices will skyrocket, causing confusion all round and slowing its use.

Holistic Intuition
Tapping Into the Gifts of Your Subconscious
by John Living

Have you ever felt "something is not right," and, forewarned, avoided a problem? Have you lost something and then thought, "It is there!" (in an unexpected place) and so looked and found it? Have you felt apprehensive before eating something, eaten it, and had a stomach ache? Sometimes when we meet a person we move forward in our body (attraction) or bend backwards slightly to get away (something undesirable). Usually we recognize our intuition only when an especially important message is received, such as not feeling "good" about a person or situation, or we get an impulse to take a particular action.

Editorial
by Melva Armstrong

Welcome to our July-August 2004 issue! Once again the journal is packed full of fantastic articles and incredible advertising. I had a friend tell me recently that she reads all the advertising, as well as all the articles because she feels that everything inside the journal is interesting. She added, "And I don't believe there are any other newspapers or magazines about which I feel the same." I think her comments speak volumes for the fine quality of material that is published in WHOLifE and, in that respect, I would like to direct her praise to all those, not merely myself, who contribute to the journal in every aspect of it because it is the sum total of every individual's contribution that makes the journal what it is. My part is simply to gather the material together and make sure everything gets done so that you have the wonderful finished product to read and benefit from every two months. I see it as a communal endeavour. I must also tell you that my experience of working on each issue is rather intriguing – it is as though there is something that guides the whole process and magically makes it all unfold in the perfect right order. I don't always recognize this in the midst of the process but, in hindsight, I usually see that each issue is all perfectly coordinated.
