The summer holidays mean a change to my morning rituals - I'm going to experiment with some of these over the coming weeks. Good for my senses.
This mind and body playlist (suggested in that list from number 1 above) is very soothing. There are thousands of these on Spotify but this one stands out for me.

This is one of my favourite CDs at home. Number 2 above just reminded me.
4 Poem Beginning With a Retweet
If you drive past horses and don't say horses
you're a psychopath. If you see an airplane
but don't point it out. A rainbow,
a cardinal, a butterfly. If you don't
whisper-shout albino squirrel! Deer!
Red fox! If you hear a woodpecker
and don't shush everyone around you
into silence. If you find an unbroken
sand dollar in a tide pool. If you see
a dorsal fin breaking the water.
If you see the moon and don't say
oh my god look at the moon. If you smell
smoke and don't search for fire.
If you feel yourself receding, receding,
and don't tell anyone until you're gone.

Like millions of others, I'll be watching my DVD of this movie again in the lead up to Christmas, as the out-laws arrive.
