Life is a gamble,
sometimes you can add a lot.
About the only thing,
we've already got.

Poetic license is in vouge
at this time.
So, it's painted a picture,
which may not rhyme.

When I write to you,
unlike this day,
It's because it's time,
to do with and say,

Hello good friends,
enjoy the ocean shore,
for it's my favorite place,
to hear the waves roar,

as the waves, crash below,
as Seagulls do their thing,
soaring, making me sing.

You need me not,
you never did,
but you would tease,
"Oh, you kid."

Words should
come, here now,
bringing a feeling,
of here and now.

I'm finding it hard
to be here, a chore,
for I like it not.
Not anymore.

"Is the adage “calories in, calories out” true? The short answer is yes, but the full story is more nuanced....."From the moment food touches your tongue to the time it leaves your body, your digestive system and gut microbiome work to extract its nutrients. Enzymes in your mouth, stomach and small intestine break down food for absorption, while microbes in your large intestine digest the leftovers. More at The Conversation ➜

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Spanning light-years, this suggestive shape known as the Seahorse Nebula floats in silhouette against a rich, luminous background of stars. Seen toward the royal northern constellation of Cepheus, the dusty, dark nebula is part of a Milky Way molecular cloud some 1,200 light-years distant. It is also listed as Barnard 150 (B150), one of 182 dark markings of the sky cataloged in the early 20th century by astronomer E. E. Barnard. Packs of low mass stars are forming within, but their collapsing cores are only visible at long infrared wavelengths. Still, the colorful Milky Way stars of Cepheus add to this stunning galactic skyscape. Growing Gallery: This week's supermoon eclipse

Thanks be to you, my Lord.
It's been a long, long while,
since I've sinned,
yet you don't revile.,

me with threads,
are bare,
who I, without reason,
doesn't care,

any longer for this,
an added strife,
as I continue to search for,
my missing wife.

What say you,
with flesh so weak,
who uses others,
when you seek,

to take advantage,
of their weak style,
day after day,
mile after mile?

Step into the light.
Seize the day.
Don't let your wonder,
take away your freedom.

Life is too short,
hear what I say,
Tomorrow won't be here,
it will have gone away.

“I remember when we had over 1,000 dairy farms in this county. Now we have less than 40,” Orr, an agriculture adviser for Greene County, Tennessee, told me with a tinge of sadness. More at The Conversation ➜

I don't suppose I'll work
with you again,
during this life we live.
Love can be a lonely cut,
when only pursued by one.

I love to think,
our love is here and done.
Why do the memories,
now ebb and flow?
When we were together,
it was the greatest love show.

This sentiment seems to be appropriate for
the moment. Not fatalistic but a
realism in this moment.
