How to find our wild nature (part 3)
Procrastination. Something we all do. Laziness is a part of human nature; once we’re in a safe place, why move away from it? We may only have partially achieved our goals but we’re comfortable now, we’re safe and we just don’t feel like moving forward. The thing to say about this – there’s never a …
How to find our wild nature (part 2)
Restraining creativity can express in dreams; I have heard (and read of) several people, mostly women, talk about a terrifying dream of a, so called, dark man. These dreams are not bad, as creepy as they may be. They are very informative and mainly encourage creativity. They tell or remind us we aren’t using our creative …
How to find our wild nature
This post was inspired by the book Women who run with the wolves (more about it at the end of part 3), where the author writes mostly about the power of women, but since I believe we are equally powerful (just in different ways mostly), I’m writing this in general. It goes for each and …

Nitrogen fixing bacteria in plants
How the process is carried out and evolution of nitrogenase. There is 78 % of molecular nitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere which can be bound in compounds only by procaryotes. Eukaryotes cannot fix (that is make useful compounds of) atmospheric nitrogen and convert it into an ion, therefore they need symbiosis with prokaryotes as atmospheric …
[psi] The Book
As in the Greek letter Ψ. A book by an unidentified Slovenian author, who called himself Eros (he passed away in 2015), translated to English, German and Croatian (for now). I read they are also making a Russian translation. It’s unlike any other. It even says that itself. Badass. People say, and I agree, that in …
