Fool me once,
Shame on you.

End up as an unsolved missing person case

“We’re lost!”, Sarah wailed. “Will we ever escape this #labyrinth ?”

Um, actually, this is a maze,” Hoggle replied. “Labyrinths only have a single path with no branches and are designed for contemplative medita—“

“Forget you!” she said, pushing him down an oubliette.

I did it daily for two years, then took a break. Now I dabble when the prompt word sparks something in my brain. My lack of #devotion to #vss365 is why there was no story yesterday.

Is it me or is it the fungus that thinks it’s me because it invaded what was me? How long have I been here? There’s no way of knowing. What are the #parameters of my new consciousness? I can think, I can’t see, hear, taste or smell. Reminds me of that old computer game. #vss365
It’s odd that I can still think. It must be the hyphae of the #mycelium from the black mold here in the cellar mixing with my nerves and neurons. I wonder how long it will be before someone finds what’s left of me. #vss365

Today I learned that the character Paul Stamets, in Star Trek Disovery, who communes with the #mycelium network to pilot the spore drive is named for the Mycologist Paul Stamets, author of various books and who has a magic mushroom named after him #vss365

We are neither #Citizen nor #Denizen of Earth but rather, Stranger and Foreigner. The thing that is us, our “soul” is made of more refined matter, albeit clothed in flesh. We came from the stars and to them we shall return when our brief sojourn in mortality ends. #vss365

This is it, humanity’s last stand. Alone we’re doomed, our only chance for survival, ally with The Cockroach or The #Tardigrade. Both had hundreds of millions of years of evolution, massively accelerated because of our nuke wars. Which to choose? Either way we’re screwed #vss365

Saying #yes to everything is a recipe for disaster, just look at Danny whatsisname. Sure, say yes to a lot more than you do now; open yourself to wild possibilities, live life and have fun but remember, “No” can be just as, if not more, powerful.

After Jean came home from hospital following a near death experience her left fist remained tightly closed for the rest of her life.

When she finally passed, and her grip released, a large golden pearl fell to the bed, a #souvenir of her previous journey.

I didn’t come into this world screaming or crying; I was delivered by caesarean section and when it’s time to go #home to that God who gave me life, I want to have the legal choice to go on my terms with medical assistance, lawfully and with no stigma

“How do you #train to be a guru?
Yoga, meditation, deep pondering on the nature of the universe?”

“Exactly, but most men have it within them,” the guru said, while thinking, sit on your a$$, have an empty brain, and whatever you think of in the shower. That’s what I did.

“Mustn’t grumble, can’t #complain, not too bad.”
Jack had heard old folks use words like that all his life.
Now in his forties, everything ached, knees creaked, the slightest wrong move made something new hurt. How could they have been so upbeat and not constantly gripe. #vss365

Bitter sweet memories
Keep me awake
Sweet like strawberries
But not quite

Tart lemon mornings
Await my arise
So i’ll #delay
A little while longer

Remembering
Your used to be
Apricot soft peachy face

The speaker crackled and a voice we’d not hear before asked, “Has anyone got a screwdriver?”
Jim thought he’d heard all the excuses for #delayed trains: leaves, sheep, even a balloon on the line, driver slept in, floodwaters, but this one was new.

Piloting his small fishing boat among the #skerries, Donald smiled as a solitary gull kept pace alongside, coasting in the wind. Soon there would be dozens, squabbling noisily for scraps when he hauled in his catch and gutted and cleaned them on the fillet table.

You’d think that you’d get used to seeing the sunrise every 90 minutes working here on the ISS but no, every chance we get, most of the crew spend time in the cupola just watching that big ball of flaming gas appear on the #horizon. I love the thrill, every time.
