Indeed - an amazing time in musical history. I have a 26 year old who has got me back into listening to the Grateful Dead (he must have been brought up well!) The pleasure is abundant

My emotional geography has collapsed After a year of travel and adventure, I am searching for home wherever I go

โ€œmemories are not just nostalgia trips, but tiny signals of place that are now coded into an emotional mapโ€

Do you like cat photos? Are you constantly distracted? Youโ€™re probably actually quite good at focusing: 10 myths about attention Every second, 11m bits of information enter our brains, which then efficiently prioritise them. We need to learn to work with the process, rather than against it

Some interesting takes on #Focus

One pill makes you larger

And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all

Adolescence lasts into your 30s โ€“ so how should parents treat their adult children? There are lots of guidebooks for parents of young children โ€“ but what happens when your offspring hit adulthood? A psychotherapist shares her guiding principles for raising grownups

โ€œThe shift from anxious manager to respectful witness is a hard task of parenting adult childrenโ€ - perhaps that shift should start before they become adults?

Sublime light today. Started off with diamond ๐Ÿ’Ž dust floating around (see previous post), then the fog kept breathing through the valley towards #Selsley, changing by the second as the air currents, sun and fog randomly interacted. #Stroud #Cotswolds
