Aurora is desperate to sleep in our bedroom so she sneaks in and tries her luck. Last night the sound of purring was so loud, but I couldn’t see her anywhere. Had to go sound-hunting, dragged my little suitcase out from under the bed et voila!

Listening to and feeling complex resonance weaving magic in my ears is joyful. Philip Glass’ Symphonies 1 and 4 doing Eno and Bowie’s Low and Heroes was exquisite.

An image of text of Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet: Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace. When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the “nay” in your own mind, nor do you withhold the “ay.” And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart; For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.

Birds bring joy, which brings anxiety alleviation - we’re picky primates so we prefer small, colourful songbirds, but it turns out ratings of different species don’t change how much wellbeing they bring.

Pls donate a birdpic 🫶🏼

“Was I seeing something akin to joy in a rat? Maybe so, considering that neuroscience research is increasingly suggesting that joy and positive emotions play a critical role in the health of both human and nonhuman animals.”
