Aliveness Buttons

What presses your ‘aliveness’ button?

For marine biologist, Dr Culum Brown, it is fish. As I listened to him being interviewed about fish cognition, I could feel the energy emanating across the sound waves.

Spurred on by the curiosity of the interviewer, talking about fish obviously brings every piece of his being to life.

I finished the podcast with a huge smile on my face. Not only was it interesting to consider aspects of our underwater world that I had not dived too deeply into before (pardon the pun … or not!), it was energising to listen to someone discussing their ‘thing’. Or, things.

The wondrous reality for us humans is that our interests are as wide, deep and different as each of us.

A topic that in itself presses my aliveness button; how about you?
