1. Haunting and cinematic Norse music
2. Tatsuya Tanaka‘s tiny whimsical worlds
Each of these mini masterpieces represent a vibrant and quirky aspect of Japanese life (both past and present) made from the flotsam and jetsam of our everyday world.

3. The price we pay for awareness
With every level of consciousness or awareness, we are expanding ourselves into a place where we get to experience deeper states of happiness as well as sadness. Being in a physical reality that is dualistic in nature, we are bound to experience the depth of sadness at the same level as we have experienced happiness. It is in experiencing the sadness, that we come to be aware of the happiness when it does come. – Peace with Anxiety

4. The paintings of Michiel Schrijver
His surreal and imaginative paintings are outside of time and place and seem to have an otherworldly quality that captivates me. The settings have a bewitching quality and are always in the gloaming of the late afternoon…




5. Classical PMS face
6. The sound of kawaii
7. It’s OK to feel your feelings by Dr Eric Perry
Feelings enrich our lives and add depth to our existence. We are not one-dimensional entities who are capable of only feeling one emotional response. A world where only happiness exists would inevitably lose its luster over time. We must be able to experience feelings such as sadness and unhappiness in order to truly appreciate the opposite end of the feelings spectrum. Without knowing the darkness of sadness we would not be able to appreciate the lightness of happiness. – Dr Eric Perry
8. ASMR micro cooking with wool
Ever wanted to know what it would be like to cook with woolen food and woolen utensils in a woolen kitchen? Now you know!
9. James Baldwin talks about what it feels like to be a black man in America in the middle of the 20th Century
I can’t claim to know or understand much of American history, but seeing the documentary I am Not Your Negro was deeply moving, and Baldwin’s ideas about race and identity are poetic, profound and deeply affecting. This is a film about otherness and being born an outsider, and viewed as threatening based on how one looks. This is a common thing many people can relate to.
Terrific paintings (Michiel Schrijver). Love that style.
