Blue skies in the emergency room

When I was doing my master’s thesis, I thought a lot about the relationship between sensory pleasure and wellness. It doesn’t strike me as coincidental that people who live long, healthy lives tend to live in gorgeous mountain enclaves of the Mediterranean. We’re programmed to like good health and pleasure, and I think that true pleasure - not the desperation that goads us towards compulsively consuming unhappily engineered foods and more television programming than one can rightly enjoy in a sitting - promotes health. Promotes well-being.

A landmark study in the medical-psychology field once found that when faced with a flat image of a blue sky with clouds, emergency room patients were much calmer, and felt less pain. Every emergency room I’ve been to since reading that study has one. I wonder what the world would be like if we put more stock in creating lovely, pleasurable spaces and experiences as a matter of course, treating it as a civic duty.

“A bird who tries to fly higher

flies into the blue…

A lady who strives to rise higher,

she wears a high-heeled shoe”

Marimo balls are a special form of algal colony that grows in fluffy green balls at the bottom of Japanese lakes. They’re supposed to bring good luck to their caretakers.

I’m just wondering why there isn’t a Miyazaki film about these little guys yet…

Uchimizu: the practice of pouring graywater onto the pavement surrounding one’s home to temporarily reduce ambient temperatures.

(What a beautiful way to handle the ugly heat this year! Although one imagines it would do nothing for the humidity…)

I think about this all the time.

When I was much younger, my greatest ambition was to become a cake decorator. Sadly, I have never learned to make ruffles like these.

EDIT: Now I have! Check out the nifty little explanation in the source <3

Now that an incoming school year is forcing me to think of fall, I might as well soften the blow with fantasies of beautiful capes. Perhaps this is the year I’ll make myself one…?
