Travel Tuesday: Enfield Shaker Museum
The mission of the Enfield Shaker Museum, an educational institution, is to preserve and share its historical structures, landscape, and Shaker cultural heritage with our multi-generational visitors, members, and the global community.
Founded in 1793, this village was the ninth of 18 Shaker communities to be established in this country. At its peak in the mid 19th century, the community was home to three “Families” of Shakers. Here, Brothers, Sisters, and children lived, worked, and worshiped. Here, they practiced equality of the sexes and races, celibacy, pacifism, and communal ownership of property.

Meditation Can Reshape Your Brain Activity, Study Reveals : ScienceAlert
Meditation may calm the mind, but a recent study suggests it can also reshape brain activity by profoundly altering brain dynamics and increasing neural connections – somewhat similar to psychedelic substances.
As a result, meditation may help practitioners achieve a hypothesized state known as “brain criticality”, in which neural connections are neither too weak nor too strong, but at an optimal level for mental agility and function.

WaterWednesday: Water as a Resource and a Weapon
Water is essential to global society, for everything from drinking and growing food to producing energy and cultural practices. 40 percent of the world’s workforce works in sectors that rely on water, and water counts for $58 trillion in global economic output each year. But while the industrialized world can take water access for granted, water resources around the world are increasingly under stress. Billions of people lack access to safely managed sanitation systems and drinking water, and as this critical resource grows increasingly scarce, it is becoming a trigger for, weapon in, and casualty of global conflicts.

Travel Tuesday: Adams Memorial at Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park
Augustus Saint-Gaudens was commissioned by author Henry Brooks Adams (great grandson of John Adams and grandson of John Quincy Adams) in 1886 to create a memorial for his wife’s grave in Washington, D. C.’s Rock Creek Cemetery. Marion, a D. C. socialite and accomplished photographer, had committed suicide a year earlier. Adams did not want a likeness of his wife, but instead asked Saint-Gaudens to create a spiritual figure that encompassed Buddhist philosophy and was similar to characters from Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel. Both male and female models were used to create the androgynous figure.
Saint-Gaudens finished the project in 1891 and called it The Mystery of the Hereafter. Adams referred to it as The Peace of God. The public and press nicknamed it Grief, a name Adams did not like.
