@PlayNiceInst Book by Jan Bauer, "Impossible Love" She wrote it for anyone who falls in love in a situation, that does not permit that love to exist It's about the process of letting go, or as she calls it, "the journey back"

@fraesur 1. Read Victor Wooten's books and then "First, Learn to Practice" by Tom Heany, and you'll be in the right mindset to start learning 2. Don't stop looking for a teacher until you find the right one: a person who supports you, challenges you, and helps you grow

I think this is pretty amazing - I asked Chat GPT to summarize Lisa Feldman Barrett's "How Emotions are Made". Then I asked it to summarize each of the book's five parts. (it did a passable job). But THEN I asked it: if Barrett had decided to write a sixth part to her book ... https://t.co/0uxCPPTqzE

Linear narrative is over All that's left are circles of varying sizes, rippling like the energetic waves all of us are (This thought brought to you, courtesy of my reflecting on Rovelli's excellent "The Order of Time" - highly recommend audiobook, read by B. Cumberbatch)
