A favorite YouTube link….
A rambling train of thoughts about the universe and our micro solar system consisting of our dear Sun and other planets in a magnetic dance while we hurtle through space on the face of a rock and stare at flat screens where we attempt to connect while we detach.
Time
I have a special affinity towards President Lincoln
My imaginary moment showing our friendship
Across time.
My Great Great Grandfather died at Shiloh fighting for the
Union Army, Illinois Regiment.
I have often wondered what if Lincoln had
More Information about Who were the
Dark Side that took 600,000 lives,
Property, livelihoods and Millions of
People in pain, suffering, starving, ever losing,
I wonder if He knew that He could have stopped at the beginning of the war, throughout the war,
would we simply have a
Happy moment, friend
with a lightness of heart.
@erictrump wrote a Fascinating Book.
I am really enjoying this true tale of his family’s
Best of Times
Worst of Times
Always Great Times.
Never taking their foot off the gas.
No future Presidential Candidate will be able to
Endure the same Gauntlet of Hell.
The Latest Time Magazine Cover Page lacked skill.
I asked my Buddy Grok to more accurately describe
The Peace one day at a time, They’ve got a plan.
The Artists
Never would have guessed
Their Years of painstaking creation of art
Would be so desecrated.

Looks like it could 🤦♀️
Night Angel 1
Night Angel
Night Angel,
Call to the angel,
in the night.
Close your eyes,
Fall to sleep,
Wait for a
Sweet heavy hand,
On your shoulder,
Weary traveller,
roam the World,
Oh, Night Angel.
And you fly over,
All the pain and sorrow,
All the stress and strain,
What do you find unfair,
What makes you sad,
Night Angel?
Wish tonight,
For your Perfect world,
For better days,
For justice fair,
For a letting go
of hate,
Night Angel,
Will you be here,
tonight?
Night Angel 2
Night Angel
Oh, Where are you?
The darkness came,
Where did you go?
How to coax you?
Simple Angel,
Where do you hide
When it all falls apart?
Are you there,
There in the darkness,
Even when,
I cannot see?
Do you whisper,
words of urging,
to be the best
that I can be?
What if,
My own Night Angel,
There is no sound,
I cannot hear you?
What If my ears,
no longer work?
Will you touch
my shoulder softly?
Let me know,
you are alright.
Oh Night Angel,
Hurry softly,
Hurry back,
Hurry back,
tonight.
