“Practice kindness all day to everybody and you will realize you’re already in heaven now.” — Jack Kerouac
Kerouac chased the road, but maybe he found the real destination: Kindness.
Try it today. See what happens.

An Indigenous mound built on the Lower Illinois River 1500yrs ago. Main river channel is behind the mound. In wet years, the surrounding flat landscape is flooded, mounds rising above and reflecting off of the water. I’d suspect this was absolutely intentional #archaeology #ecology #history

All I want is an ominous Victorian mansion, a full moon, a crackling fire, a vintage copy of Bram Stoker's Dracula, a kettle on the stove, wolves howling in the distance, and a basket of freshly-baked pastries.

The crazy part I only learnt recently is that Old English 'fneosan' comes from the Proto-Indo-European root *pneu-, relating to breathing; compare Greek-derived terms like 'pneumonia' and 'pneumatic'!
I've always loved the fact that the word 'sneeze' is the result of a historical accident. The original form, in the Middle Ages, was 'fnese', but someone mistook the 'f' for the long medieval 's' and wrote down 'sn-' instead.
Fneezing sounds much more like a proper, nasal sneeze.
