Re: Haworthia (Zebra Cactus / Pearl Plant / Star Window Plant)

bizzy — Thu, 13 Apr 2017 23:18:53 -0000

Hello Haworthia-folk,
My mom gifted a very sunburned zebra baby to me last year. I gave it a home in my kitchen under indirect light (skylight window in ceiling) and it opened up and has been growing steadily since (I repotted once about 4 months ago). I only water once every two or three weeks, and lately it's been sitting under fluorescent lighting (not every day, but a couple days a week). Even before sitting under the fluorescent light I noticed the white parts of the leaf patterns were turning yellow. I wonder if this could be due to something in the water? I try to use shower water because I heard sink tap water can have too many minerals, but am wondering if something else could be causing this effect... Any ideas?

Really enjoyed this format of blogpost. Interesting to hear how politics has taken up space in our lives differently and with different impacts on our political choices as adults. Looking forward to the next post!

I read somewhere that you can buy those little swatch thingies. It's still probably cheaper than buying wallpaper, etc. DO IT.

Re: You Are Not Your Thoughts, Emotions Or Body

Reading this has helped me understand myself more than the past three months of self-reflection I've been forcing upon myself.

On xmas eve, I allowed myself to become so angry during an argument with my father, that I literally jumped out of his car while we were at a stop light and attempted to run across the street. My intention at the time was to remove myself from the situation that was causing me to be angry. I was going to walk the rest of the way home -- about two blocks -- because I thought at the time I couldn't stand to be in the car with him while he was acting in a way that provoked these intense, upset feelings. I knew I couldn't control his behavior, so I thought the only way to calm down was to control my own behavior.

The only problem was, I let my emotions control my behavior. I didn't get across the first lane of the street when a car going 35-40 mph struck me, causing me to fall on the asphalt, breaking my left wrist, and tearing a crucial ligament in my right knee.

When the driver stopped his car and, with a horrified look on his face, came to see if I was okay, all I could think to say was "I'm sorry".

What is my point?

My point is that these past three months, through surgeries and physical therapy and time spent living back at my parents house while I recover and gradually reclaim my physical independence, I have had time to think about why this all happened. I don't think I'll ever know why or how I let my anger get the best of me, but it's clear to me now that, as you said, I was not and am not my emotions. They (anger, hurt, fear, etc) were clearly clouding what I consider my own common sense.

"Look both ways before crossing the street."

Every small child in America hears this from adults, yet I, a 26-year-old woman, forgot it in a split-second because I was too busy listening and surrendering to the emotions that I now see as a poison that swiftly injected itself into my rationale.

Anyway, I'm sorry for the tangent. What I'm trying to say is thank you for bringing all of this awareness to the forefront of my mind. I'll probably continue to try and make sense of this incident in my life, but at least now I have a more clear picture of how to recognize these emotions and what power they have if I choose to yield to them.

Also, consider me a new subscriber.

First of all, how can I help you to stop puking?

Secondly, I wanna go out and drink on the weekends. Let's fold the country in half and be done with it!
