As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)

If you missed the Aurora last night and / or would like another go, then it looks like there is a good chance we’ll have another display this evening.

Word of the morning is ‘apricate’ (17th century): to soak up the warmth of the sun, even in winter.

The iconic #HardrawForce for #WaterfallWednesday! This waterfall has been painted by Turner and Wordsworth, featured in a 90's hit movie, and is the highest single-drop waterfall in England. 👉 yorkshiredales.org.uk/places… 📸 Wendy McDonnell #YorkshireDales #Wensleydale

Two words, each hundreds of years old, that are still worth holding on to: ‘respair’: fresh hope, and ‘resipiscence’: a return to a better frame of mind. Here’s to both in 2023. Happy New Year.

Lifelong unlearning is as critical as learning. Unlearning is not removing or discarding knowledge or experience; it’s a conscious act of unlearning skills & mindsets that may have defined the way we led in previous times, but now hold us back: forbes.com/sites/joemckendri… Via @C4LPT

I love the timelessness of words, and how, for example, the relationship between 'digital' and numbers came about from people counting on their fingers, or digits. Obvious, I know, but I still love it.

Situations don't make you unhappy. They may cause you physical pain, but they don't make you unhappy. Your thoughts make you unhappy. Your interpretations, the stories you tell yourself make you unhappy.

New research: 1) lacking a sense of meaning & low emotional support are strongly related to feeling stretched too thin; 2) people who feel connected to colleagues are 3x more likely to report they kept pre-pandemic levels of productivity: sloanreview.mit.edu/article/… Via @lizandmollie

Here is a little piece on how lasting progress requires fierce self-discipline and fierce self-compassion. These qualities are normally thought of as at odds with each other but they are actually perfect complements. My latest @outsidemagazine. outsideonline.com/health/tra…
