The joy I feel,
depends upon,
the amount of guilt,
I carry.

Guilt is non quantifiable,
yet I seem to carry this
burden with me.
It's not intentional.

It is reprehensible to me,
when I feel so helpless,
unable to do anything,
except provide comfort.

May life give you blessings,
wherever you go,
for our time is short,
don't always say, No.

Stay on the good side,
of the life you know,
there will be luck,
and good wishes wherever you go.

Whence came thou,
to adapt today.
You stayed here,
didn't run away.

Choose your battles,
it's not a sin,
for your goal,
should be, to win.

He awoke late morning,
about half past ten.
He had no worries,
as he had no friend.

He worked not,
at the job he held,
for he was on course,
for his journey to Hell.

"Let it be," were the
words he heard.
"You think your smart but,
you're really a Nerd."

I miss you Rae
and your lovely voice.
You moved away.
I won't rejoice.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Part of the Sun disappeared earlier this month, but few people were worried. The missing part, which included the center from some locations, just went behind the Moon in what is known as an annular solar eclipse. Featured here is an eclipse sequence taken as the Moon was overtaking the rising Sun in the sky. The foreground hill is Factory Butte in Utah, USA. The rays flaring out from the Sun are not real -- they result from camera aperture diffraction and are known as sunstar. The Moon is real, but it is artificially brightened to enhance its outline -- which helps the viewer better visualize the Moon's changing position during this ring-of-fire eclipse. As stunning as this eclipse sequence is, it was considered just practice by the astrophotographer. The reason? She hopes to use this experience to better photograph the total solar eclipse that will occur over North America on April 8, 2024.

Home of the new mountain king.
A Lord of his own making,
a Legend in his own mind,
Outstanding in his field.

Self-concocted by a person,
who has a high opinion of
his value in society. Sad

Fog hanging,
suspended under
yellow streetlights,
as muted rays,
stretch to the ground.

My heart races,
as I hear a sound.
What joy there must be
when light reflections,
call to me, "Be free,
of worries, life will be
what it will, nothing for
you to do."

November carries moments of transition, resolve, and remembrance. Alexander the Great confronted Darius III at Issus. Edward I convened his Model Parliament. Swiss forces secured independence at Morgarten. Across centuries, the month has marked turning points in governance and national identity.

Scientific observation and civic milestones also shape November’s story. Andrew Ellicott documented the Leonid meteor shower. Lincoln proclaimed a national “day of Thanksgiving.” The assassination of President John F. Kennedy stunned a generation, while decades later the election of Barack Obama marked a historic first in American politics.

November often reflects both solemn remembrance and renewed direction—moments when history pauses, recalibrates, and moves forward.

If you are in love,
please don't tarry.
Step up, tell them,
love is better than worry.

I wish the World
could be fun today,
instead of the ugliness,
when people hurtfully say.
