Lao Tzu
“Choose food, clothing, and shelter that accords with nature.Rely on your own body for transportation. Allow your work and your recreation to be one and the same. Do exercise that develops your whole being and not just your body. Listen to music that bridges the three spheres of your being. Choose leaders for their virtue rather than their wealth or power. Serve others and cultivate yourself simultaneously. Understand that true growth comes from meeting and solving problems of life in a way that is harmonizing to yourself and to others. If you can follow these simple old ways, you will be continually renewed.”
Lao Tzu, Hua Hu Ching: The Unknown Teachings of Lao Tzu

Ufuoma Apoki
“She seems to always get it
To have become adept at empathy
Always giving excuses for people who’ve aggrieved her
To the point it’s hard for her to hit back when necessary
All because she assumes she ‘understands�
Then, one day . . .
She finally stands up for herself
At that moment, she revels in the natural instinct of self-preservation
She realises all this while the power she’s been withholding
In a transcendent moment of epiphany
It’s all beautiful ‘cause
Now, she can get back to empathy with understanding, rather, than without.”
Ufuoma Apoki

“Light and the human is poorly understood by the astronomical
profession, with many astronomers not understanding which light bulbs they should have in their own
homes and offices! It is embarrassing that astronomers do not understand the many forms of artificial
lighting that they are exposed to every day and how it affects them.”
Steven Magee
