Into our lives,
comes many a friend.
Sometimes forever,
when a friendship never ends.

I am writing, for
all the tomorrows of yesterday,
and for the promises made,
of something which seems far away.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Is this galaxy jumping through a giant ring of stars? Probably not. Although the precise dynamics behind the featured image is yet unclear, what is clear is that the pictured galaxy, NGC 7714, has been stretched and distorted by a recent collision with a neighboring galaxy. This smaller neighbor, NGC 7715, situated off to the left of the frame, is thought to have charged right through NGC 7714. Observations indicate that the golden ring pictured is composed of millions of older Sun-like stars that are likely co-moving with the interior bluer stars. In contrast, the bright center of NGC 7714 appears to be undergoing a burst of new star formation. The featured image was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. NGC 7714 is located about 130 million light years away toward the constellation of the Two Fish (Pisces). The interactions between these galaxies likely started about 150 million years ago and should continue for several hundred million years more, after which a single central galaxy may result.

Alone in the darkness.
Alone in my room,
brings forth memories,
of impending doom.

Why must I worry,
when I have a concern?
When your Lifes memories,
you're determined to burn?

Burn them to ashes,
remember no more,
for nothing matters.
We're not keeping score.

There's a pain,
deep, in my chest.
I cannot sleep or,
get any rest.

A love for another,
deep within me,
I won't share, a name,
for all to see.

A one sided love,
you cannot pretend,
for it must be noted,
there's no happy end.

I see visions of loneliness,
when I'm sitting under the tree,
in this beautiful courtyard,
here for all of thee.

Why don't you use it?
It's almost free.
Included in your rent,
with flowers, beautiful to see.

When you hit,
the proverbial wall,
will you have learned something,
or will it be, nothing at all?

"Reconnecting children and nature may be the last cause in America that transcends political, religious, racial, and professional barriers; it brings people to the same table who usually do not want to be in the same room. Again and again, I have seen conservatives and liberals, physicians and educators, conservationists and developers, and many others work together for this cause. No one wants to be in the last generation where it’s considered normal for a child to lay under a tree in the woods" More at The MIT Press Reader ➜

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

The southern winter Milky Way sprawls across this night skyscape. Looking due south, the webcam view was recorded near local midnight on March 11 in dry, dark skies over the central Chilean Atacama desert. Seen below the graceful arc of diffuse starlight are satellite galaxies of the mighty Milky Way, also known as the Large and Small Magellanic clouds. In the foreground is the site of the European Southern Observatory's 40-metre-class Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). Under construction at the 3000 metre summit of Cerro Armazones, the ELT is on track to become planet Earth's biggest Eye on the Sky.
