Random blasts of information:
1. The earth hums. It emits a low-level vibration.
2. All human beings are descendants of one woman: white, black, arab, jew, asian, indian, etc. We are all much more closely related than we think. Seems we are excellent at seeing the differences, and sort of blind when it comes to the similarities.
3. If you want to live a really long life, choose your parents well.
4. DNA is a language: we are created from a sequence of letters. These letters determine whether we have blue eyes, curly hair, if we will die young, etc. I already knew this, but this is certainly a strangely, mystical idea: the world is created from language, the universe is a long-running conversation.
5. Advice from the oldest living woman in the U.S.: 'live your life as best you can. That's all you can do.'
