What are these words,
which spew from your head?
Are they words of comfort,
or written, only to be read?
"Good question", he says in his mind.
Write of the good; don't be unkind.
There is too much hate, on this day,
can't we write of our love,
how we feel, or say,
I love you my friends.
It's not hard said in this way.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Does the road to our galaxy's center go through Monument Valley? It doesn't have to, but if your road does -- take a picture. In this case, the road is US Route 163 and iconic buttes on the Navajo National Reservation populate the horizon. The band of Milky Way Galaxy stretches down from the sky and appears to be a continuation of the road on Earth. Filaments of dust darken the Milky Way, in contrast to billions of bright stars and several colorful glowing gas clouds including the Lagoon and Trifid nebulas. The featured picture is a composite of images taken with the same camera and from the same location -- Forest Gump Point in Utah, USA. The foreground was taken just after sunset in early September during the blue hour, while the background is a mosaic of four exposures captured a few hours later.

"Protein-enriched products are ubiquitous, and these days it seems protein can be infused into anything – even water. But the problem, as Kristi Wempen, a nutritionist at Mayo Clinic, points out, is that" “contrary to all the hype that everyone needs more protein, most Americans get twice as much as they need.” Read more

I hope you understand
what goes through my brain,
when I am schizophrenic
and borderline insane.

Run on the pavement,
not on the loose rocks,
so you can avoid receiving
the small stones in your sox.

I must be a coward,
to hang on too long
and take her to a place,
where she should belong.

Last night, as I,
sat on our bed,
my wife sat next to
me and said,
"I'm so happy I found you
and I love you so,
please do not leave me.
Please do not go."

I don't know.
It's been awhile,
since the time
I made you smile.

Forget me now,
just let me be,
I'm no good for myself,
let alone for thee.

I do understand
what you said;
It's not an option,
for the life we led.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Halloween's origin is ancient and astronomical. Since the fifth century BC, Halloween has been celebrated as a cross-quarter day, a day halfway between an equinox (equal day / equal night) and a solstice (minimum day / maximum night in the northern hemisphere). With a modern calendar however, even though Halloween occurs next week, the real cross-quarter day will occur the week after. Another cross-quarter day is Groundhog Day. Halloween's modern celebration retains historic roots in dressing to scare away the spirits of the dead. Perhaps a fitting tribute to this ancient holiday is this view of the Ghost Head Nebula taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. Similar to the icon of a fictional ghost, NGC 2080 is actually a star forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way Galaxy. The Ghost Head Nebula (NGC 2080) spans about 50 light-years and is shown in representative colors.
