Sky thunderous, dark; the river raging black
Trembling land under foot, starting to crack
Rolling ominous clouds, lightening clap
Will the day’s sun ever come back
How long will tumultuous conditions last
Human patience for change is waning fast
Resources to survival limited by contrast
Political will to remedy scarce, but much bombast
While the title of the New Scientist article is a bit misleading, there is pretty exciting information coming out of the psilocybin study at the Imperial College London, where they are taking fMRI images of patients under the influence of mushrooms to track changes in blood flow.
A little boy grabbed hold of his cats tail while playing in the yard. The cat immediately began resisting, trying to pull away and making an awful noise. The boy's mom looked to see what was happening and when she saw it said to her son, "Johnny, let go of the cat...you're hurting it." Johnny replied, " But Mom, I'm just holding the cats tail.
I don't know if it is such in all parts of the world but here in wintry Canada where I woke to an UNUSUAL -3j0 Celsius (FOR THE NON-METRIC THAT IS FUCKING COLD In Fahrenheit!) So I wrote the following in acknowledgment to the state of depression that enveloped me this morning and persists:

Hey all, just watched this video and wanted to share the link.
Some might find it a bit long-winded or dry but I recommend it despite this.
Dr. Russell Blaylock talks about the effects of diet on psychology. While his focus is primarily on the individual, its easy to see how our society at large would benefit hugely from improving our diets.
I go through times when I begin a downward spiral into a deep depression and it hurts to live. I feel stuck in my body, a prisoner to living this mundane and predictable life. It makes me wish I was already experiencing what I know will happen when I depart from this vessel. It makes me want to already be dead.
My favorite line from the Back to the Future trilogy was Doc telling Marty, "You're not thinking forth dimensionally!" As a scientist, it was second nature for Doc to be running cause-and-effect flow charts in his head. On a chalkboard he drew a time-line showing that the 1985 world he and Marty went back to had been radically altered when a "tangent" occurred in 1955.
Those who are haunted by feelings of loneliness, anxiety, fear, worthlessness, or hate - open your ears wide - because I want to share with you something that I find is a very important factor in overcoming any kind of depression.
For wanting to know why things are the way they are??

I got the first feedback about the Biodrux blog from Valentina, who commented that not only from reading my blog but also from seeing me change moods she was convinced that the mixture must be working.
