Humming along

8/15/2022

When we would visit my grandmother Matt after she dies when I was 6 — My mother would warn me about humming and whistling in the graveyard — “Dangerous — Jurit — The spirits might follow you home”

I was only a child — so I — of course — did just that — hummed — whistled — circled the gravestones — terrified the entire time

Beyond (HERE) Expect Flashing GIFS

Maybe they did follow me home — it would explain a lot of my subsequent lives

Having not found anything I could — to my taste — easily hum to — preferring a chainsaw to a jingle — I put together the above Spotify list so I could practice humming along while doing my cemetery walks — your tastes will most likely — differ

Highly recommend this book "Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art" by James Nestor -

"“The health benefits of nose breathing are undeniable,” he told me. One of the many benefits is that the sinuses release a huge boost of nitric oxide, a molecule that plays an essential role in increasing circulation and delivering oxygen into cells. Immune function, weight, circulation, mood, and sexual function can all be heavily influenced by the amount of nitric oxide in the body. (The popular erectile dysfunction drug sildenafil, known by the commercial name Viagra, works by releasing nitric oxide into the bloodstream, which opens the capillaries in the genitals and elsewhere.)"

At my age and with my BP — I wish someone had told me this sooner

How lucky we are there is so much to do and explore

Although — thankfully — what some things are — will remain a mystery

Much Love,
