I don't know if I should cook this potato or take it to the hospital 😳

Did you know that an oyster will not produce a pearl unless it has been wounded in some way? A pearl is actually a healed wound. It forms when an irritant, like a grain of sand or a parasite, enters the oyster’s shell. To protect itself, the oyster secretes layers of a smooth, shiny substance called nacre, coating the intruder over time. Layer by layer, this process continues until a beautiful pearl is formed. In a way, pearls are a product of pain—transforming something unwanted into something valuable. The more pearls an oyster produces, the more precious it becomes.

Each day, in the shallow waters off Melenara Beach on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria, Neptune rises from the sea. This stunning statue, created in 2001 by Luis Arencibia Betancort, stands nearly 15 feet tall — and when the tide comes in, Neptune appears to be emerging from his watery kingdom.

Is this crazy or intelligent In some parts of China, you may notice a strange sight: a stone carefully placed over a watermelon. This isn't to prevent it from rolling over or to protect it from prying hands, but rather for a deeper secret related to its sweetness. During the day, the stone absorbs the sun's heat, protecting the watermelon from its scorching heat. As night falls, the stone gradually releases that heat, creating a thermal contrast that stimulates the fruit's ripening process, making it sweeter. It's a simple agricultural trick, but it carries a profound understanding of nature and its effects on crops. You must read this:

Nuckelavee 🐴 The Nuckelavee is one of the most feared creatures in Scottish folklore, specifically in the Orkney Islands. It is a grotesque, skinless being, its exposed muscles blackened and pulsing with yellow veins. Though often described as centaur-like, it is not a fusion of man and horse, but a single monstrous entity—its upper body growing directly from the back of its equine form. Its breath is said to wither crops and sicken livestock, and its very presence spreads disease. Unlike many supernatural beings of Celtic mythology, the Nuckelavee has no redeeming qualities. It is pure malevolence, kept at bay only by the sea. It cannot cross fresh water, and the only known defense against it is to flee across a stream.

A very nice spot 😃🥰

"When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free." The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry. Annie Ovenden - Murmuration over Lanhydrock Park, 2020.

"Many have passed away, and those who are still here are called "the elderly."" We were born in the 40s-50s-60s. We grew up in the 50's-60's-70's We studied in the 60s-70s-80s. We were together in the 70s-80s-90s. We got married or not and discovered the world in the 70s-80s-90s. Adventuring into the 80s - 90s We're settling in to the 2000s. We became wiser in 2010s. And we’re going strong into 2020 and beyond. Turns out we went through EIGHT different decades... TWO different centuries... TWO different millennials... We've gone from phone with operator for long distance calls, pay booths, video calls worldwide. We’ve gone from slides to YouTube, vinyls to online music, handwritten letters to emails and Whats App. Live games on the radio, black and white TV, color TV, then HD 3D TV. We went to the video store and now watching Netflix. We've known the first computers, punch cards, disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones. We wore shorts all through our childhood, then trousers, ep pants or mini-skirts, Oxfords, Clarks, Palestinian scarves, jumpsuits, and blue jeans. We avoided childhood paralysis, meningitis, poliomyelitis, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19. We've done roller skating, roller skating, tricycle, bicycle, moped, gasoline or diesel and now we drive hybrids or electric. We played with the little ones horses and checkers, ostrich and marbles, 1000 threshold and monopoly, now there's candy crush on our smartphones And we read... much And our schoolmates religion was not a subject... We used to drink tap water and lemonade in glass bottles, and the vegetables on our plate were always fresh, today we get meals delivered Yes, we have been through a lot but what a beautiful life we have had! They might describe us as “ex-annuals”; people who were born in this 50s world, who had an analog childhood and digital adulthood. We should add the Biological Revolution that we have witnessed. In 1960, biology was very descriptive. We have witnessed the event of Molecular Biology: the molecules of Life have been discovered: DNA, RNA etc. When you see everything that has come from it: gene therapy, gene fingerprints, and others the progress is considerable. We kind of have "seen it all"! Our generation has literally lived and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life. This is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE". A big congratulations to all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE.. "
