Wow, that's amazing.

But we were never, you know, I look at when her kids are ill, they go to her bed.

You know, they come and knock on the door and they want to be with...

We didn't really have that experience.

And so it was first the mushroom trip and then in my relationship.

And now I'm like, when I'm having a hard time, I ask for a hug and it does make me feel better.

But that had never been the case before.

so i mean prepping yourself for glimmers is a very important part of being able to receive them otherwise your garden is arid and there's no way they're gonna you need to slow down like i mean that's the simple version is you have to slow down to notice them if you're busy all the time you're just rushing rushing through life and you're not taking any of it in i mean it's like

I was thinking about it the other day.

put a boundary with how much you're going to respond to people in the off hours and everything slows down so you notice the sun sets you notice the wind in your hair it's not funny yeah everything but then we come back to life and we're like on call 24 hours a day and just like so busy that you don't notice all the things that you probably experience on holiday at home

We still have beautiful sunsets and warmth on our face sometimes.

And even in the cold, you know, it's that sometimes that cold rain on my face feels so fresh and good or just going for a really nice walk in nature.

And when we're on phones and computers all the time, it's our bodies in such a posturing position of like...

focus, fight, flight, that kind of system is primed to attack, you know, and when we look up and we look at the horizon and we take in everything that's going on around us, I mean, the story, I think one of the early stories in the book was just sitting on the bus and I'm on my phone.

There's a baby just in front of me and it happens all the time on a plane, on a train, and the baby's really trying to interact and

It brings me so much joy to interact with a baby or a dog.

Anywhere.
