when you hear someone play a song. that is a breathing organism. an organic composition both fragile and resilient. born of equal parts love and pain. in each vibration expressed from their instrument is a trillion memories and a universe of senses. a holy noise

Simple neuroscience-based hack for anxiety: 🌿go & be in a place with plants & trees for 15 mins 🌳You'll inhale plant oils(phytoncides) from foliage 📉your stress hormone(cortisol) will drop significantly Many of our brain pathways evolved to motivate us to forage for plants-they're still very active

the fires are no joke right now. the county is on fire east to west. lots of my favorite trails are toast, friends are evacuating or ready to go tonight. the air smells like smoke and its silently raining ash. feels like 2020 all over again. a strange omen.
