Having been upside down I admit I've found: the clouds are further away the ground has something to say the problems indulge the same indulging and losing the game birds from the south are now north and the second's become the forth every sunset remains the same except sun who has need of new name

"You live in the shadow of something often regarded as good," the counselor said. "How does that make you feel?" "I'm forgotten," it said. "I know I'm only a part, but I'm more than that." "Do you think the Long Arm of the Law respects you?" "Only when it needs something," said the hand. #vss365

"Night hands are slower," she said, "not as fast as morning hands. Where morning hands are eager to touch, find, and move, the night hands are wise and more thoughtful. They move as they must. Turning a page bscause a story continues. Switching off the light because they don't need to see." #vss365

I can't believe the moon how it lies there

To those still complaining about Artemis 2: We spend 100× more on killing people for oil profits, but yeah, NASA’s the problem. 🤦🏽‍♀️ NASA: $25B Defense: $901B That’s 36 NASAs. Space programs have driven major advancements in science, medicine, and technology, real benefits for humanity.

This view of the Moon from Artemis II is just... WOW!

Album What does worry get you my grandmother asked as she smiled a grandmother smile long like a mile dusty worthy of a photo album the picture labeled Grandma K in an ink long departed from the pen and I worry her colors will change from sunrise to sunset and I won't be ready

I can't hold all a season's rain in my hand though I tried once one graceful April after admiring the shore and its soft sand I reached out in hope to see my palms fill Instead I settled for some drops, just a few and in the morning I gathered the dew #vss365 #semisonnet

A gentle reminder. If you hear the muffled thump of the Easter Bunny's mighty paws tonight and have neglected to leave out an offering of carrots and whiskey, its wrath will be terrible to behold.

There's a rainbow tonight It wasn't so bright It clashed with the light But if you squint just right it's a beautiful sight

FYI, this gallery has all the photos NASA is sharing from Artemis II in one place, with descriptions.

I dreamed ten cows were swimming in a swimming pool. “My cow is the one with the splotchy face,” said a woman. “My cow is the one who wears a duck like a hat,” I said. “Quack,” said the duck. “Moo,” said the cow. “So it is written in the Book of Life,” said an ominous narrator.

You'd think the sand might understand the passing of time how all the things you've held in your hand will seep and not keep You'd think the sand might understand it doesn't though it has places to go #vss365

About the brook smooth pebbles took their places on the bed and not much else was said except a lullaby who wished them goodnight thus everything felt right

Another thing before I leave my couch where i contemplate many things like couches who can swallow you without care without a thought unlike the straight backed chair and that specific catching moment you will see then you leave to find more fetching seconds but I confess to having lost what beckons

"It is a special ring," the man behind the counter said. He looked old. Beginning of time old. "Looks like there's something written on it. What does it say?" The old man placed a jeweler's loupe to his eye. "One ring..." "...to rule them all?" "No. One ring, buy second for half price." #vss365

During lunch when I was thinking less I met an odd fortune cookie and it said "I'm not quite sure what I should say so I'm not convinced I should recommend anything" You can imagine my dissappointment I slurped my wonton soup nodding knowing the world is difficult and cookies crumble all the time

Got my first round of shingles vaccine this afternoon. My arm aches now like a mofo, but I'll definitely be back for round two. I've seen people in severe crippling pain due to shingles. Shingles is something you do NOT want to get. Get vaccinated. Most insurance will cover it.

"It is not enough for us to be kind and generous to others," said the owl. "We must be willing to do what is necessary for the common good and that includes protecting the innocent, standing for justice, and eating mice." The barn was silent. Just for a breath. "Wait a tick," said Runaway Ralph.
