      “Wil Wheatons response to a little girl on how to deal with being called a nerd” by CGPhotogcom (Non-Sex-Related, Sociology, Psychology, Consciousness/Spirituality) 6/7/13

Though I would use a different word from “pity,” I profoundly appreciate this offering from Wil Wheaton, especially in the context of its being offered to an adolescent in response to a direct question expressing pain.

      “The Human Walking Program” by Jake Barrow (Non-Sex-Related, Animals, Psychology) 5/2014

What a beautiful, astute, brilliant idea.

      “What a Shaman Sees in A Mental Hospital” by Stephanie Marohn (Non-Sex-Related, Psychology, Sociology, Consciousness/Spirituality) 6/12/14

I suspect/imagine that a lot of Western culture readers could feel lost by this piece within a few paragraphs. I still recommend it due to the chance it may resonate and/or expand the perspectives of some. Reading it took my breath away, and I felt deep resonance throughout reading it. I so appreciate its being shared and Dr Somé’s work.
