Endure the stress
Relent less
Use the force
Stay the course

Pulsing rhythm
Infecting everything
With your #relentless tones
Until we are all entranced
And there is nothing left
Except you

Is there peace in the fight?
To plant yourself in the storm,
shield the young from the wind
breaking on your bones

#MastoPrompt #SmallPoems #peace

The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist, the hole. -- Wilson

I woke to haze this morning
The horizon hidden
Clouds muffling sound
My brain fuzzy and struggling
Yet inner strength comes
Rising
Clearing
Here.

You probably heard of #OsmAnd, the swiss knife map app that uses #OpenStreetMap data, but do you know that there's a web-based interface, too?

Check out https://osmand.net/map, and plan your trips with routing, and various map rendering options, while doing so in the comfort of your desktop browser.

It even includes weather forecasts, if you're trying to avoid getting wet for your weekend ride.

You don't even need to register for an #OsmAnd, or #OpenStreetMap account to use it.

Seeing a lot of #fediverse accounts without any profile information…

Folks, if you want us to follow you, please, tell us a little about your account. You don’t have to post a photo of yourself or identify yourself if you don’t want to but please take a moment to tend to your profile so it says something about why it exists and what we can expect if we follow it.

It’s also helpful if your make an #introduction post. (You can also pin that to your account.)

Novel, new, silly, & unusual activities can help lift your mood.

The darkness retreats
As I open my eyes
Greeted with warmth
By the coming #sunrise
I hear the blackbird
Singing before it flies
Flapping its wings
Into the brightening skies

With my breath
I escape into warm cedar
and dappled earth
With my ears
I escape into humming fields
and hushing trees
With my eyes
I escape into flat clouds
stretched over the edge of the sky

#MastoPrompt #SmallPoems #escape

From the heat, let us #escape
That we need not wipe the nape
of our neck again and again.
Cool breezes coming? When?

It looks like there'll be showers
In just a few, short hours.
That might break the heat.
I'll cheer. It will be neat.

The lawn sure needs the rains.
Don't let them fill the drains.
Downpours cause street flooding.
Showers keep the flowers budding.

Listen to some music. Make sure it's something you really like.

Every rock
is magic in its uncertainty
and much better than a lottery ticket.
We lift instead of scratch off and in that act
we say hello
to all the uncertainty
that lurks beneath.
Gently
like a holy trap door.

I recall
In the night
By the water
I climbed a big tree
And nested
On smooth
Solid branches
And the night
Breathed
Back
And forth
Through
The leaves
And rocked
The tree
And I sailed through the night
On that gently nodding ancient
