Wake Up

Wake up, my soul.
I don’t know where you are,
where you’re hiding,
but wake up, please,
we’re still together,
the road is still before us,
a bright strip of dawn
will be our star.

Your daily neuropeptide boost is here, oxytocin, freshly supplied by wildlife pond full of newts

Can I get some love for garden pond full of wild Newts?

In Nazaré, Portugal, surfer Sebastian Steudtner rode a 26.2-meter wave, setting a new world record for big wave surfing.

An unbelievable feat!

@JazzCity9 @LePapillonBlu2 Your point stands though. Psychopaths are often associated with glibness and charm. This is why people get drawn into their orbits unknowing of the pathology. Unconsciously, Trump has a very fragile sense of self. His father the likely cause. Psychopaths often feel empty inside.

[Geoff Smith @Lacan1960]

@JazzCity9 @LePapillonBlu2 People with a personality disorder can suffer or, equally, demonstrate grandiosity and omnipotence. The diagnosis isn't based solely upon distress.

It's also important not to conflate a personality disorder with a mental illness such as schizophrenia or depression.

Petrichor is the earthy scent released when rain falls on dry soil

The word itself was coined in 1964 by two Australian scientists who blended the Greek words for stone (petra) and the fluid that flows through the veins of gods (ichor)

The smell comes from a compound called geosmin released by soil bacteria plus an oil that plants secrete during drought as a kind of survival mechanism that gets trapped in rock and dirt

Humans are wired to love it because our ancestors relied on rain to survive meaning your brain is essentially having an ancient primeval emotional reaction every time a storm rolls

@GreatRightAngle @MbarkCherguia Chonnocks!

[Wholesome Side of 𝕏 @itsme_urstruly]

One of my favorite human traits is when someone sees the moon and immediately feels the need to tell someone else to go look at it.

@GreatRightAngle @MbarkCherguia If you are from Mow Cop, Staffordshire, it's called a chonnock.

The wisdom of Greek tragedy cannot be overemphasized. All of them dramatize this universal confession: “I created my life; I made these choices; and, stunningly, this flood of unimagined consequences are the fruits of my choices.~James Hollis

[Geoff Smith @Lacan1960]

@SophiaCycles Sometimes we intuit in the moment that a particular choice will have a significant impact on our life's trajectory.

But we don't know why exactly at this juncture. It sits within the unconscious.

Later, we become conscious of the impact. Good or bad but usually transformative.
