Musings
At Firefly Horizons we encourage and support the sharing of experience and insights. Our Musings represent a library of thought and contemplation. We make these musings free to our patients and colleagues with the hope of provoking thoughts and images that stimulate reflection or resonance. We encourage all the members of our team to contribute freely to this library of reflective experience.
