Another weird fact...Svalbard bans dying. People who are expected to die are flown to the mainland. That’s because the permafrost prevents their bodies from decomposing and risk attracting hungry predators that dig them up. https://t.co/jRejwvOpLD— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) May 30, 2020

Svalbard rules...
global chaos and panic?...
Today, the Twitter timeline seems to be like a scream... the voice of helpless chaos in polarising times... It's almost deafening... True...There is so much not right with the world... But 'not right with the world' is part of our historical profile...It's just that we now have the wonderful media connections to report on it globally...regularly...daily...hourly... Our awareness is at a fever pitch, never known in history...More than ever, we need to centre, focus on our own music...Don't ignore the outside world...That is a dangerous attitude...But 'don't take it personal'...adapt... keep walking... and remember...play your music...Perhaps the world seems to be imploding - an endless roll of anger in chaos, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes - not man-made. There may be power and control, but not of a friendly, healthy kind. Keep the music of you...Keep playing...Someday someone will value your song... pic.twitter.com/oiDS1NEfAX— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) May 30, 2020

and the scents are fresh and clear
it's a place to feel at home

a blessing...
COVID-19 - not a curse, a blessing... I have learnt to embrace my own light...to avoid clinging to values of schedules + duties...to allow the impulse moment as a treasure, an opportunity... to see people as a passing presence... I have been nowhere, yet I have been everywhere... pic.twitter.com/iNkj0YOgHn— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) May 30, 2020

London Bridge?...
Immediately, I thought of the old, old medieval London Bridge...It had 19 huge arches, leap-frogging across the churning river, and, by the 1400s, it is said that there were 200 houses, 138 shops, churches and a gatehouse built along it. https://t.co/D0t8rcp3bj— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) May 29, 2020
