    If you have a spare half-hour, or can multi-task while folding laundry, click on this youtube interview with geobiologist Hope Jahren, lately a professor at the University of Hawaii, Manoa, but as of September 1, 2016, professor at the University of Oslo's Centre for Earth Evolution and Dynamics. Although you won't hear any references to palms, her descriptive and unconstructed responses were fascinating to me, and I hope you will enjoy them too.
     
     
     
     If you like it, check out her book, LAB GIRL, published March, 2016.
     
    A tiny except you all can relate to:  "Each beginning is the end of a waiting. We are each given exactly one chance to be. Each of us is both impossible and inevitable. Every replete tree was first a seed that waited."

The weight of lies will bring you down / And follow you to every town / Cause nothin happens here

That doesn't happen there / So when you run make sure you run / To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aero plane / To chase you anywhere
