#194 / DSMO For The Soul



DSMO, more accurately Dimethyl Sulfoxide, is an organosulfur compound with the formula (CH3)2SO. You can click the link to read about it. 

I don't actually know too much about DSMO, except that I do know that it is a "penetrating agent," and that it has an ability to carry other chemical compounds into virtually all parts of the entire human body, as described below by Wikipedia: 

Use of DMSO in medicine dates from around 1963, when an Oregon Health & Science University Medical School team, headed by Stanley Jacob, discovered it could penetrate the skin and other membranes without damaging them and could carry other compounds into a biological system.

For me, DSMO has always been a metaphor, and when I first saw the music video that I have linked above (Tim McGraw in his official video for "Humble and Kind"), I realized, again, how powerful music is, in its DSMO-like ability to penetrate the soul, bringing to the very deepest part of us a message that would, probably, never ever get there, if the message weren't dissolved in the music. 

Click that link, above, and let the music penetrate. 

I am pretty sure you won't regret it.
