The Same Difference

By Alison Brause and Elenei Rae Pulido

This book was influenced by two very different approaches to healing the world. One approach was based on a Shaman from Guatemala who watched his village torn apart by war and was forced to flee or risk being killed for carrying out his healing practices. The other was an American doctor who went in search of ways to better serve his patients. That journey landed him in China, where he learned how to harness energy to show people anything is possible, and to create the conditions for people to experiment with new ways of approaching conflict. One day while thinking about these two approaches to the world and staring at a vase of flowers, this book was born. I wanted to pass on to children and their parents that both appreciating the sameness and difference between people might be a beginning of healing those things that keep us separated. Thus, the book, The Same Difference was born.
