Fusing technical athletic wear with a retro aesthetic, the brand’s first-ever fitness line is modeled by a star-studded cast of local actors, musicians, and athletes.
this graphic was based on the theory of children being able to see ghosts… many researchers suspect that children, from the youngest ages and into early teens, are more likely to experience paranormal phenomena because they have not yet developed the prejudices that many adults have against such far-out, “unscientific” ideas. Perhaps they have not yet created their own filters for feelings and experiences that most of society consider irrational or abnormal. Or it could be that young brains or minds are, for whatever reason, physically more receptive to such phenomena as ghosts, near-death experiences, past-life recall and premonitions.
Here’s a story i found that some of us might be able to relate to:
When my cousin was little, she would always say that she was visited by “a friend.” My family thought this was an imaginary friend. One day while looking through a photo album, my cousin saw a picture of her grandfather who had died only a few years before she was born. She had never seen this picture before. She said that the man in the picture (her grandfather) was the friend who visited her regularly. This is interesting because my grandfather adored his grandchildren, and I could envision him wanting to meet the one who was born after he died.- Dennis and Heather S.
Maybe if we all make the choice to return to that form of innocence we might be able to see past the illusions that have us entrapped.
