The Murujuga Petroglyphs, located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, represent one of the most extraordinary and extensive collections of ancient rock art on Earth. Spread across the Burrup Peninsula and surrounding islands, this vast cultural landscape is home to more than a million engravings etched into hard rock surfaces over tens of thousands of years. These carvings, created by the ancestors of Aboriginal Australians, form a continuous visual record of human presence, belief, and interaction with the environment.

What makes Murujuga especially significant is not just the sheer number of petroglyphs, but their remarkable diversity and longevity. The engravings depict a wide range of subjects, including extinct animals, marine life, human figures, ceremonial scenes, and symbolic patterns. Some images are believed to date back over 40,000 years, offering rare insight into early human life and the dramatic environmental changes that shaped the region.

Beyond their archaeological value, the Murujuga Petroglyphs hold deep cultural and spiritual meaning for the Indigenous custodians of the land, particularly the Ngarluma, Yaburara, Mardudhunera, and other Aboriginal groups. These artworks are not merely historical artifacts; they are part of a living cultural tradition that continues to connect people to their ancestors, stories, and sacred landscapes.

The Crooked House
“There was a crooked man
He walked a crooked mile
He found a crooked sixpence
Upon a crooked stile

He bought a crooked cat
Which caught a crooked mouse
And they all lived together
In a little crooked house.’

Sound familiar? This is an 1840s poem thought to be inspired by this medieval house in Lavenham, Suffolk.

You've been told you need to suffer through exercise for it to count. Here's what the science actually says: consistency matters more than intensity.

A 47-year longitudinal study showed that adults who became active later in life improved their physical capacity by 5 to 10 percent. The researchers didn't specify which type of exercise. They specified that people moved regularly.

The best exercise program is the one you'll still be doing next month.

If you hate running, don't run. Dance. If the gym feels like punishment, go outside. If you dread the treadmill, find a trail. If you love swimming, swim. If gardening makes your heart sing, garden.

Movement isn't supposed to be miserable. Your ancestors didn't go to CrossFit. They walked, climbed, carried, danced, played, and built. Movement was woven into living.

In my practice, the patients who maintain exercise for years aren't the most disciplined. They're the ones who found something they love.

The woman who walks with her neighbor every morning. The man who bikes to the farmer's market on Saturdays. The couple who does tai chi in the park.

They're not exercising. They're living. And their bodies are responding.

Stop forcing movement. Start finding it.

What's a way of moving that actually brings you joy?
