But first! Please enjoy this week’s dramatic reading of Monday’s post: “The Power of the Unmoored Thought” 👇
Enjoy!
Notes from the Captain
I’ve recently gone full-tilt back into meditation after dropping it for reasons I don’t quite know. It’s time with myself. Me and my thoughts. Or me and my quieting thoughts. And my thoughts are nuts, but its nice when the quiet down and just sit with themselves for a moment.
Some sessions are more powerful—successful?—than others, but the great thing about it is just to be. To do nothing as a way to try to be nothing, for just a moment. It’s funny how many “somethings” have come out of those “nothings.” The mantra. It takes you there—all the way to the nothing of its comforting and wise hum.
Please relish the few links below on everyone’s favorite delicious nut, David Lynch, plus general randomness.
Enjoy! Or don’t. But either way, thank you for your support.
Until next we meet, love what you love,
Your Captain, Janeen 🫡
Thangs mentioned in this episode…
👩✈️ David Lynch
Here he is, talking about creativity and consciousness. He makes the ocean sound so great.
This is one of his daily weather reports.
And finally, a compilation of David being David.
His book, Catching the Big Fish, is also an easy read.
👩✈️ Mistral Fans
They were a bit of a scandal in Australia when I was a kid. And yes, they caught on fire.
In January 1988, two children died from a house fire in Melbourne, Australia. This ordeal was onset by a Mistral Gyro Aire fan that caught fire. This event was preceded by 52 other fire incidents that were caused by the fan, and by 1977, it had already been determined that Mistral, the Australian fan company, had products that did not live up to American flammability standards.
The model in question (not the one in the video) is in the Powerhouse Museum in Australia (which is a museum filled with classic Aussie inventions). It looked like this:
From the exhibit:
Despite the appeal of the Gyro-Aire's design, two models produced up until 1979 were found to be dangerous. Plastic used in the manufacture of these models was highly flammable, and resulted in 106 fires in Australia and overseas.
👩✈️ Nada? Isn’t that a….
The words “light chicken gravy?” flash up briefly in the video. It’s a reference to this:
I think that’s it…. thanks for listening/watching/being.
Do something great this weekend.
Do. Make. Be.
