Rick Hobbs is a physicist who became a physician; a student who became a teacher (yet remained a student); an explorer of the zone at which science and human spirituality converge. He lives in Waterville, Maine where he practices medical acupuncture, teaches family medicine residents, studies Mandarin Chinese, keeps up with modern physics and plays his fiddle. Rick loves the quiet and solitude of the north woods where the voice of the spirit speaks loudest in the whisper of the trees and the mysterious beauty of the night sky.
