This woman is almost sixty, yet still talks with the wide eyed enthusiastic curiosity and optimism of a teenaged girl. She never forgot her childhood, just paired it with her adult experience, and the skills that came with it. That's why she's timeless

@uselessvideo Год назад

What a succinct accurate analysis…imo.👍🏾

@MISNM0 Год назад

Your description is entirely lovely. I'm genuinely into it.

@te9591 Год назад

I think Bjorks speech and mannerisms emulate like an adult child in a way. Not in an undeveloped creepy way but that her adult self utilizes childlike instincts for creativity and a sense of self.

@jojijojo3566 Год назад

She’s so right, fungi are my favorite organisms on the planet and it’s also the largest. Mycelium is such a beautiful thing and what I find so special about it is the way mycelium communicates with each other. People see trees as being this mystical thing and that they all communicate with each other and know who the mother tree is, and with fungi it’s even more so and deeper. Also psychedelics are fun and good for the soul when you’re in the right place. And plenty of other mushroom species have amazing health benefits and taste great.

@0ooTheMAXXoo0 Год назад

Best and artist seems like two words that should ever be attempted to be put together... Art is not about being great or the best... It is about making a physical artifact that has a feeling of the artist contained in the art so that another human can comprehend the feeling...

I've never done mushrooms but find what shes saying relatable when talking about just wanting to be at peace with the earth and universe. And connect with the earth. I feel like its a living being and sentience is just the universe experiencing itself. But its easy to forget that. I also acknowledge thinking too deeply doesn't help with survival. But its still nice to have those moments to think
