A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

Another photo from the Faroe Islands, taken in Jun 2019. We spent a week there, and mostly the weather was like this - and apparently often is - rainy and foggy. Still pretty cool scenery :) #FaroeIslands

A misty, atmospheric shot of a long drop waterfall across the far side of a bay. The foreground is the edge of a grassy clifftop and the sea below is a nice emerald green. There is a mountain hidden by the low cloud.

Seamus Heaney on #hope: History says, Don't hope On this side of the grave, But then, once in a lifetime The longed-for tidal wave Of justice can rise up, And hope and history rhyme.

The withdrawing of our projections is lonesome work, but worth the effort. It's such a relief when we stop projecting the gods and goddesses onto other people, making them objects of worship. ~Marion Woodman

Rilke on the poetry of everyday: "If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; for to the creator there is no poverty and no poor indifferent place." | Letters to a Young Poet

I will :) I am currently reading Joyce's Dubliners and Jung's CW 9a.

I hear you. I feel a little the same as you. I have been busy with work and other social engagements. But the best thing about this year so far has been spending more time reading and writing. So, yes, it's a year with potential, but also dark nights of the soul.

So beautiful. How have you been, Ann?

John Berger: "The whole of history is about hopes being sustained, lost, renewed...With hope between the teeth comes the strength to carry on even when fatigue never lets up, comes the strength, when necessary, to choose not to shout at the wrong moment, comes the strength above all not to howl."

Indeed, Hyde's poetic rendering of how a gift moves to nurture and nourish all is deeply moving, and offers a vision for a new world, which is all the more relevant in today's climate. Thank you for the recommendation, David :)

"Our generosity may leave us empty, but our emptiness then pulls gently at the whole until the thing in motion returns to replenish is. Social nature abhors a vacuum." (2/2)

Lewis Hyde on the nature of the gift: "The gift moves toward the empty place. As it turns in its circle it turns toward him who has been empty-handed the longest, and if someone appears elsewhere whose need is greater it leaves its old channel and moves toward him." (1/2)

Reading Charles Eisenstein's Scared Economics and came across this: "The extinction of any species diminishes our own wholeness, our own health, our own selves; something of our very being is lost."

"If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. Furthermore, it is constantly in contact with other interests, so that it is continually subjected to modifications. But if it is repressed and isolated from consciousness, it never gets corrected." | C. G Jung

"Unfortunately there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is..."

Jung on neurosis: "There are in a neurosis two tendencies standing in strict opposition to one another, one of which is unconscious. The neurotic is only a special instance of the disunited man who ought to harmonize nature and culture within himself."

Yes, same here. Work was a little busy so I was away from this platform.

Wow. What an interesting idea!!

I agree. My city is like that at the moment although our autumn colours are different.

Wow! The colours are so pretty.
