Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

by my favorite poet, Mary Oliver

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered when wished on the morning star?

A joke to start your weekend:

       Q: "Why aren’t you signed up for the 401K?”
       A: “I’d never be able to run that far.” 
                                      – Dilbert 

A thought for your weekend:
          
                               from Facebook, "I fucking love science"

If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I'll bet they'd live a lot differently.
Bill Watterson

I heard this the other day.  I had forgotten the depth of the lyrics.  Have a listen and keep on star-gazing.  Don't live your life half-asleep.

Muppets-Rainbow Connection lyrics.

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard
and answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic.

Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors.
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
