Yesterday a large group of white Pelicans was spotted swimming near Cedar Key, Florida.
They were more than likely displaced due to hurricane Isaias.

40 years ago today, after a nightmare 1985 season, SNL fired 75% of its cast and filled it w/groundlings kids and stand ups.
The opening night was a Dana Carney tour de force.

Strength creates strength 🇺🇸
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.
- William J. H. Boetcker, The Ten Cannots (1916)

Sometimes the best medicine is a song that reminds us we’re not alone.
The Band performing “The Weight” at The Last Waltz (1978) is pure soul — warm, powerful, and deeply human. A beautiful reminder that we all carry something heavy, but together, the load always feels lighter.
Music like this doesn’t just entertain… it heals. ❤️
This is a close up of a mushroom and those drops are not dew, they are created by guttation.
They are rotating because, believe it or not, the mushroom has its own small thermal currents

I really need you to try and wrap your mind around this for a second. They just found a state of existence inside your cells that is part light and part matter, and it dies when you die.
That means your mitochondria, the engine room of nearly every cell in your body, is light. Mystics and esoteric scholars have been saying this for ages, and science is finally catching up to it. This is further proof that manifestation is written into the fabric of our very beings.
The idea here is that if your cells run on light, your thoughts have a direct line to shaping matter. The spiritual framing says that consciousness generates vibration, and vibration is light. Within the findings of this study, that means your consciousness is responsible for breathing light into the mitochondria in your cells. It describes the engine inside your cells as a blend of light and matter, the "mito-polariton." This quantum superposition is precisely how you can shift realities at any given point, because your entire body is superpositioned, not just your cells. You simply relocate, through conscious thought, to a reality that exists simultaneously with the one you are currently inhabiting. It's the same mechanism, used for a different purpose.
Mitochondria are how your body makes fuel inside your cells (ATP). ATP fuels everything a cell does: repair, signaling, division. If your mitochondrion is part light, that means light is an active participant in how your body fuels itself and keeps the spark of life going. And whatever generates that light can directly affect your cells. Remember when I said that what generates light is vibration, and vibration is generated by your consciousness? It's all interconnected. There is no separating you from the mechanism.
If your cells produce energy via light and your thoughts generate said light, your thoughts can directly affect your body through that same mechanism built in your cells too. I remember an example given in 'The Law of One' of how the emotion of anger can cause cells to go out of control and eventually lead to cancer in the body. The fascinating part? Cancer cells are known for altering how their mitochondria produce energy. Can’t make this shit up lol. If healthy mitochondrion stores a 'pure' light signal, your thought patterns that chronically disrupt this signal can push your cells entirely off course. A steady, coherent state of mind supports the signal instead, which in turn supports your physical health. Once again, it's all beautifully interconnected for those with the eyes to see it!
Crepuscular rays, also known as God rays, are beams of sunlight streaming through gaps in trees, clouds, or other objects, creating visible shafts of light separated by shadowed regions.
