“We are all visitors to this time, this place.
We are just passing through.
Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love...
and then we return home.”

Researchers as the University of Wisconsin
conducted an experiment with girls ages 7 to 12
in which they exposed the girls to the stress of speaking
to a group of strangers.
Afterward, a third of the girls were hugged by their mothers,
a third spoke to mom on the phone,
and a third watched a film.
While measured stress rose in the movie watchers,
the stress in both other groups
dropped equally.
"That a simple phone call
could have this physiological effect on oxytocin
is really exciting."
Co-investigator Seth Pollak told Scientific American.
Your visits make me feel wonderful,
and that's a scientific FACT!
Happy Weekend, cloudia

YAY ! Happy weekend to you lovely Cloudia !
ReplyDeleteYes! Every day we should think about that: "We are only visiters at this world, for just a moment".
ReplyDeleteAlso to you a beautiful weekend and have a nice day...

The raw power of anxiety and calming drives so much of our lives. It's underrated.
ReplyDeletelove it...a simple touch goes so far...have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of this study. I have always, especially when in a depression, negated the ways in which I helped my adult children. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteAloha from Muskoka!
Love the see saw diamond sign in the foreground of Diamond Head. Thank you for that local perspective and not the glossy tourist shot! :)
ReplyDeleteYour posts and comments are always uplifting. Hope you have a wonderful weekend in paradise!
ReplyDeleteI just loved the Australian aboriginal proverb. It's so profound.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... I'd better go call my daughter.
ReplyDeleteI know of a few poems by Native Peoples and there really is very little difference between their words and the words of wisdom from any poet, of whatever age, colour, creed.
ReplyDeleteI love trawling through mankind's collective consciousness, as I think you do.
Happy Friday to you my lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the Buddha quote. :)
yes! thank you
ReplyDeleteWOW! Deep breath in.... I realized I was breatholding....
ReplyDeleteI have to ask--- What is the See-Saw sign, and what does it say? Or did someone stick something on it. I've never seen that one before?
Playground?
Great perspective on Diamond Head and Life---It's on as pretty as we make it Yes???
Great stuff my friend!!!
John
Makes me want to go hug my daughter.
ReplyDeleteNo substitute for mom,it appears.
ReplyDeleteYour site surely is a lesson for life. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLife experience is the biggest power
ReplyDeletedear sister. Thanks for sharing..
Happy weekend as you wish to you.
Aloha from Türkiye!
Great quotes and a very interesting report on stress. I like it! Hve a great weekend and send some of your beautiful sunshine to Oregon.
ReplyDeleteThat is great news. I am glad there is scientific evidence to support the value of all this goodness making the rounds.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Buddha quote, too. I will hang that in my classroom.
hi there! i was just stopping by via galen's blog, hoping to see if you had a 55 to share. what i found was so much better!! to live in hawaii is cool enough but to be this close to diamond head...YOU WIN! this is a great blog!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what it would be like to have a mother who actually makes you feel better?
ReplyDeleteDear Fireblossom -- please find a substitute mother for hugs and phone calls...it's okay to choose another mom when an original one throws curveballs.
ReplyDeleteAloha Cloudia -- mahalo for the blog-hug / blog-call. LOVE the neighborly view toward Diamond Head. During a family trip to DC, I met a Hawaii guy-couple within our hotel. Such instant aloha when we're all wearing the right shirts! DC can keep all of it's carved marble....I love Hawaiian lava more.
My new 9 hardy hibiscus bushes are growing like illegal plants! Hope they sprout some flowers soon!
Aloha, DrumMajor
