Soon, it will be,
April 3rd,
I await the day,
to see your face.

How many masked
people will we know,
after the masks are gone
and we see each other's face?

"...Astonishingly, honeybees possess one of the most complicated examples of nonhuman communication. They can tell each other where to find resources such as food, water, or nest sites with a physical “waggle dance.” This dance conveys the direction. distance and quality of a resource to the bee's nestmates" .....Read more at The Conversation

"It’s kind of strange how the labor market remains quite strong, with notable gains in labor-intensive service sectors like hospitality and leisure, health care and retail. That’s also where wage growth in February was strongest"...Read more

Pi Day π (pi) is observed on March 14 (3/14 in the month/day format) since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant digits of π.
Pi (π) Day has become an international holiday, celebrated live and online all around the world. 

What is pi anyway? Divide any circle’s circumference by its diameter; the answer (whether for a plate or a planet) is always approximately 3.14, a number represented with the Greek letter π. Mathematicians have been calculating π’s digits with more and more accuracy and have discover they go on literally forever, with no pattern.

When life abruptly
changes who we are,
I'll keep our memories,
of you, my star.

A star, so radiant,
burning bright.
Because of you,
I loved the night.

What has brought,
pain to thee,
to all you love
in our family?

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

What lies at the end of a rainbow? Something different for everyone. For the photographer taking this picture, for example, one end of the rainbow ended at a tree. Others nearby, though, would likely see the rainbow end somewhere else. The reason is because a rainbow's position depends on the observer. The center of a rainbow always appears in the direction opposite the Sun, but that direction lines up differently on the horizon from different locations. This rainbow's arc indicates that its center is about 40 degrees to the left and slightly below the horizon, while the Sun is well behind the camera and just above the horizon. Reflections and refractions of sunlight from raindrops in a distant storm in the direction of the rainbow are what causes the colorful bands of light. This single exposure image was captured in early January near Knight's Ferry, California, USA.

When you meet a stranger,
who is passing by,
stop and smile
blink an eye.

Till the ground, deeply,
digging up the dirt.
If you aren't careful,
you will get hurt.

Plowing the land,
tilling the soil,
get my heart racing,
making my blood boil.

From out the dark,
of an inner gloom,
your smile brightened,
every room.

When night is gone,
when dawn is near,
I'll wait for you,
please reappear.

Friendship gains
throughout the year,
my love for you,
won't disappear.

There are words, left,
in this pitiful mind.
Words of love,
those I find,

Nothing matters,
anymore, in a twirl,
if I cannot have
my special girl.

I miss you,
words cannot say,
what happens, when
you've gone away?

I love you Ellie,
this I know.
I can't let you leave.
I won't let you go.
