Dennis Donohue, ‘Yggdrasil’, 2008 ”In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil is the World Tree, a great ash tree located at the center of the universe and joining the nine worlds of Norse cosmology. The trunk of the tree may be thought of as forming a vertical axis around which these worlds are situated, with Ásgard, realm of the gods, at the top and the Hel, located in Niflheim, at the bottom. Midgard, our world that is inhabited by humans, is located in the middle and surrounded by Jötunheim, land of Jötunn, both of which are separated by the ocean.” Source
"University of Washington researchers have discovered they can detect atomic "breathing," or the mechanical vibration between two layers of atoms, by observing the type of light those atoms emitted when stimulated by a laser. The sound of this atomic "breath" could help researchers encode and transmit quantum information."
"Phonons are a product of atomic vibration, which is similar to breathing. Here, the two atomic layers of the tungsten diselenide acted like tiny drumheads vibrating relative to each other, which generated phonons."

“You see it is important to understand how damaged people don’t always know how to say yes, or to choose the big thing, even when it is right in front of them. It’s a shame we carry. The shame of wanting something good. The shame of feeling something good. The shame of not believing we deserve to stand in the same room in the same way as all those we admire. […]
Aspiration gets stuck in some people. It’s difficult to think yes. Or up. When all you feel is fight or run.”
— Lidia Yuknavitch, from The Chronology Of Water: A Memoir

create a clearing in the dense forest of your life
Do not try to save the whole world or do anything grandiose. Instead, create a clearing in the dense forest of your life and wait there, patiently until the song that is your life falls into your own cupped hands and you recognize and greet it. Only then will you know how to give yourself to this world so worthy of rescue.

Why is this so funny to me? Call me James or Larry? Then who the heck is Eric? I was born a day but not yesterday?

13. How would someone woo you?
Pay a scoundrel to marry my sister and make me nervous while I play the piano forte. Notice that I rather enjoy walking. Carry me indoors after I collapse in a fit during a rainstorm and read me poetry while I recover. Yell my name across the moors in the night under a full moon. Cross oceans of time to find me. Fuck if I know. No one has ever tried to woo me so I'm not sure what would work.
What makes you feel attractive?
I didn't know what I was doing when I liked that post. 🖤
Not attractive but comfortable in my body.
This past summer I was walking a trail with the Teenager and they were way ahead up a hill with their long legs. I never run but I had an urge, so I ran to catch up. I realized my legs are stronger than I thought. I felt like the trees were whispering "yes, this is good". Times when I can feel without looking. Without seeing myself.
No pictures please, and mirrors aren't great either. I never liked the idea that not being able to look at your face in the mirror meant shame for doing something wrong. I feel shame, but that's not why. It's just doesn't fit with who I think I am. What I think I look like. It's jarring. All that I do to my appearance is to conform the best that I can. So no, I never feel attractive. But sometimes I feel right.
Thank you for the ask sweet lady 🖤
