Happy Thanksgiving.

« La société est composée d'individus. Les pensées et les actions de chaque individu influencent la culture de cette société.

Au lieu d'attendre que les autres s'améliorent, nous devrions essayer de nous améliorer nous-mêmes. Une fois que notre attitude aura changé, nous serons capables de percevoir la bonté partout dans le monde. Si un changement positif s'opère en nous, il se reflétera également chez les autres.

Ce n'est que ce que nous donnons que nous pouvons espérer recevoir en retour. »

~ Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi ~

Today we lost a true daughter of Mother Nature, Dr. Jane Goodall. Her life was a shining example of courage, compassion, and unconditional love for all beings. As a visionary primatologist, she awakened humanity to the sacred bond between man, animals, and the Earth itself. Her spirit will continue to inspire generations, and her legacy will guide us to live in harmony with creation.

Let us honour her by protecting this planet and nurturing all its beings with love and responsibility.

ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः

Tomorrow night, stargazers! ✨

The Perseid meteor shower will light up the skies on August 12 and 13, delivering one of summer’s most dazzling celestial events. Normally, you might see up to 100 meteors an hour, but with the moon shining bright, expect closer to 10–20 per hour.

Don’t let that stop you — the Perseids are famous for bright streaks and even fiery bursts that cut through moonlight.

Best viewing is after 11 PM until dawn, when Perseus climbs highest overhead. Find a spot where buildings, hills, or trees shield you from the moon’s glare for the best experience.

Bring a blanket, lean back, and let the night sky surprise you

New research suggests that forests may act more like living communities than collections of individual trees.

During a partial solar eclipse in October 2022, scientists in Italy’s Dolomites found that spruce trees across the forest began changing their internal electrical activity hours before the eclipse started. Sensors attached to trunks, roots, and branches showed a synchronized shift—almost as if the forest anticipated the event.

Older trees reacted the most, hinting they might store an “ecological memory” and help guide younger trees during rare natural occurrences. Even old stumps showed faint activity, suggesting they still play a role in the forest network.

This discovery supports the idea that forests operate as connected, cooperative systems—where ancient trees act as guardians of knowledge and stability for the entire ecosystem
