Just Another Reason To Love Apples.

Just another reason to love apples.

APPLE: Malus Pumila

APPLE: Malus pumila

In Ireland, the apple is considered one of the foods of the dead; during Samhain apples are often piled on altars and graves, giving the festival the nickname ‘the feast of apples’. Before a funeral, a coffin may be lined with apple wood to restore youth in the afterlife. During Samhain, bobbing for apples is a common game to play; if you are to capture an apple, it is symbolic of being allowed to cross over to the island of Avalon and you will be blessed for a year. Incidentally, the name Avalon is considered to be of either Welsh, Cornish, or Breton origin, from avallen, meaning ‘fruit tree’ or the old Irish aball, meaning apple.

Some sage advice that many people need to hear right now.

What happens when anxiety and depression takes over and you just can't write anything? I wanted to use lockdown to my advantage but I'm not well and I'm sad. Any advice?

Just know you aren't alone in this. I've written a fraction of what I should have written, over the last 4 months. The anxiety is real, there are many things to be anxious and depressed about.

So be kind to yourself. Set yourself small targets and goals. Be happy when you succeed, and forgive yourself when you fail.

This is amazing; we often personify various parts of our body. But little did we know, that it turns out our body personifies itself.

Your Body Is An Incredibly Bizarre Machine.
Your Body Is An Incredibly Bizarre Machine.

Your body is an incredibly bizarre machine.

“What you see is a myosin protein dragging an endorphin along a filament to the inner part of the brain’s parietal cortex which creates happiness. Happiness. You’re looking at happiness.”

I love this new revelation.

You know how everyone’s perception of dinosaurs shifted when the public was introduced to the fact that they probably had feathers? I’m feeling that way again except this time about lips.

T-Rex without lips:

(the much more likely) T-Rex WITH lips:

“Let someone dangerous in for tea. Make small  signs that say “yes” and spread them all over your house. Become a  friend of freedom and uncertainty…Take a lot of naps…Dream wild,  imaginative dreams. Draw on walls. Read every day. Imagine you are  enchanted. Giggle with children. Listen to old people…Be free. Praise  yourself. Let go of fear. Play with everything. Preserve the child in  you.”

 - Joseph Beuys

“Oh you may not think I’m pretty, But don’t judge on what you see, I’ll eat myself if you can find A smarter hat than me.

You can keep your bowlers black, Your top hats sleek and tall, For I’m the Hogwarts Sorting Hat And I can cap them all.

There’s nothing hidden in your head The Sorting Hat can’t see, So try me on and I will tell you Where you ought to be.

You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart;

You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true And unafraid of toil;

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you’ve a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind;

Or perhaps in Slytherin You’ll make your real friends, Those cunning folks use any means To achieve their ends.

So put me on! Don’t be afraid! And don’t get in a flap! You’re in safe hands (though I have none) For I’m a Thinking Cap!”
