Herbig-Aro Star I have no idea how this star was given its name. But, I can’t stop looking at it and wondering are millions of life forms moving around and going through normal life as it is known to them 👽 This star has allot to offer, it’s brilliance although surrounded by a disk of gas. It really caught my eye due to the spectrum of light refraction that is represented here and it’s currently millions of light years away. It amazes me that we are now exploring galaxies, that I physically will never get a chance to see or… Read more: #Space #DeepSpace #Stars
Brandishing a big inviting smile, Providing kind banter, Always joking around, But my feelings no one has ever truly found Can you understand what it feels like to hide behind a mask, To overwhelm yourself with activity and life-fillers with any arbitrary and notional task Drowning yourself in tumultuous nothingness, to drain your think tank from the obscurity you call your inner-most thoughts and stress The health scare that shook to the core, and the silence hid with know one to truly fill in the void that resonates in the place true thoughts reside, behind the humongous mask of a… Read more: đźŽTHE MASKđźŽ
Showcasing a fellow Poet, and graciously granted the honor of sharing her vision of love. Thank you for allowing your vulnerability to be highlighted on an electronic canvas I’m learning this myself and this platform can be very therapeutic and rewarding. Baby, I want to see you in all of your raw colors, vibrant and lackluster. Baby, I want to hear you in all keys, major and minor, as loudly as you can muster. Baby, I want to feel you moving, boldly and unapologetically. Baby, I want to kiss you only with deep passionate intent frenetically. Baby, I want to… Read more: BABY I WANT………..
CHASING YOUR DESTINY for a little girl that had a dream, it was manifested at a young age and transcended and culminated pristine I only met her by chance as she was the smallest of my team, but something about her made me curious that she possessed internal power like a high intensity steam. She started off slow making it to Nationals but not advancing to any finals, little did I know it was unleashing a fire that would marvel all her rivals. She said coach: “ I don’t want to ever have this feeling again, I hate to lose… Read more: Chasing Destiny
Lately the gym has been my escape, without thought I find myself there and never do I hesitate. Is it the stress of the day of a complex variable that looks like Greek, Or is it the sweat drenching workout that I love to meet. Or maybe it’s the feeling of weight being lifted from my shoulders, With no choice as my legs tremble like a combat trodden soldier. No! It has to be the euphoric endorphins and release of hormones, Masqueraded in my blood stream like a vessel called cortisol. Work can be stressful solving complex systems with infinite… Read more: Euphoria
It’s been over 2 decades of derived pain that has been trapped in side me, the guilt, the shame, and betrayal that was dealt with the best way I could see. The feeling of helplessness with know one to free me. The pain unbearable seeping out into all aspects of life, living with a quandary of shame and situational awareness and unknown direction to filter the feelings and direct spite. Your decisions to hurt me and redirect and hide true Paternal rights, not allowing the love to be given and received with not even a fair fight. One sided stance… Read more: FORGIVENESS
I will start off by saying Habari Gani, which is a Swahili term that means “ What is the news”. It is spoken when greeting others during Kwanzaa and a way of connecting with others to stimulate conversation. This week I will provide a roadmap for each principle as to educate and share in the positivity and productivity that this celebration provides. Kwanzaa, which is observed from December 26 through January 1, is a seven-day celebration of African roots, observed by people of all faith backgrounds, since it’s not tied to any religion. Instead, the African American and Pan African… Read more: HAPPY KWANZAA
Taking the steering wheel to a car that should be on Auto-drive. Compounded manifestation of kindred thoughts that truncate to a foundation striving for real connectivity to realize. Working past individualized thoughts of 2 people that surely love one another. Labeled by multiple layers of life and stress, but suspect to inner beliefs that cause both sides to suffer. Does your tunnel-vision interrupt your capacity to feel. Or does your heartbeat not follow the same rhythmic love pattern, and made of steel. How can the boundary meant to establish the peace, be so lifeless. Where is the faith in humanity… Read more: HELPLESSNESS
Reaching back to view my journey this year, Nothing short of a miracle that I’m still here. Took chances that hurt me to the core, Benefited from the lesson and showed that I can endure. Valuable missions on who I see in the mirror, Poised and strong with future goals nearer. Working and striving and positioning for progress, One step at a time, never looking back for times of stress. Jubilation of freedom and new beginnings and a sense of worth, Framed by days of my feet firmly planted in Gods green earth. Looking to the blue sky’s for direction… Read more: INSPIRATION
I can remember as a kid always having a love for outer space. Space was something that I found fascinating thinking that we are on the ground, but something definitely is happening above us in the sky. Is someone looking down at us, thinking the same thing? I dreamed of becoming a Astronaut or Top Gun himself. Sharing a room growing up with my sister and cousins for many years in bunk beds made for 5, even though I’m sure the store sold it as a 2 person sleeper. My Mom made sure I had space man sheets or anything… Read more: Is there Human life in Space?
The scientific name for this beautiful spectrum is called M31. But it is known as the Andromeda Galaxy and majestically categorized for its outer ultraviolet rings providing a spherical backdrop and array of lights and stars in a galaxy actually not too far away, as far as galaxies go. This galaxy is 260,000 light years away, which is miraculous when you think of distance, and complexity of this array with respect to the earth. You can’t help but think and imagine what an amazing explosion must have taken place in order to assemble such an intriguing cluster of gas, plasma,… Read more: I’m Known as M31
Looking out at the smoky blue mountains dance across the horizon All I see is the amazing layers of pristine blends of Gods paintbrush Sitting on a porch with a gentle breeze that feels so familiar, Like a peculiarly comfortable respite for anyone with a burden to unload.…………………………… Contemplating the decisions of the week and actions made out of fear, Perpetuated directions by the inevitable, starting to be so damn clear. Looking across to eyes that once were so bright, but slowly dissipating and diminishing into the southern night, Feeling the love flow, that I didn’t quite understand fully growing… Read more: Journey
Juneteenth is a time for reflection. Thankful for the sacrifice of ancestors past. Thankful for new beginnings and true healing stead-fast, Worship the freedom of choice and the understanding it brings, Nurture your sacrifice and embrace the work and progress on past wings. -Astro-Nut 👨🏽‍🚀
The visual representation of this segment of time and space are a continuum of spectrums of light and gas from planets and galaxies multiple light years away. Maybe that’s the technical side of space. But I’m more curious into what others think of space. Is it a waste of time to explore or are we just touching on the brink of something out there that could change life as we know it! I’m biased as this is what I do for a living, but actually have had an infatuation with space since I can ever remember. We kinda take it… Read more: Just some things on my mind 🤔
🗣️Habari Gani: The second day of Kwanzaa honors self-determination (kujichagulia): ‘To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves and speak for ourselves. This day and 2nd principle is special to me because it empowers me to take charge of my own destiny and not let others dictate my future. This is something I struggle with on a daily basis. This is a reminder to be the person that I’m capable of being, and stop letting self-doubt and negativity be the dictator in my life. Be blessed and make a difference in the life of those around you.🫶🏽 -Astro-Nut 👨🏽‍🚀
🗣️Habari Gani: KUUMBA – Creativity The 6th principle of KWANZAA is called KUUMBA (koo-OOM-bah) which means creativity. The desire to uncap your creative side and express it on any format that speaks to your heart. I challenge you to be creative in a way that you have never done before!! -Astro-Nut 👨🏽‍🚀
My vision these days is a little clearer Transitioned from days of blurry and clouded sky’s REDIRECTION Finding true peace in salvation and genuine love for my current path PEACE Feeling Gods word and taking it to heart and deeper understanding GOSPEL Walking a path on HIS timeline, not my own PATIENCE Following his path for me with the understanding that it’s in HIS time JOURNEY Driven by a path of discovery and belief in my faith DEVOTION Blessings in the step I’m currently on -Astro-Nut👨🏽‍🚀
The courage to book this ticket was the hardest decision to make. Knowing the outcome is unknown and pain could be eminent as my dire fate. I put in and backed out my credit card multiple times, contemplating to myself, Maybe I should not do this and mentally I will be fine. I know this to not be true, because the feeling of pain haunts me daily. Wish it didn’t strangle me so, and devour my thoughts to my core through and through. As I count down the days till I board that plane, my mind has played a million… Read more: Monumental Flight of Importance
I’m writing this to you in hopes that one day you come across this and understand just how much I love and miss you. I yearn to just be in your presence and just give you a big hug and hold you and never let go. I want to know your hopes and your dreams and things you have questions about. I want more than anything to hear your questions and answer them to the best of my ability. I want to field all the tough questions and consider your perspective and more than anything, with understanding and compassion in… Read more: MUFASA TO MY SIMBA
I woke up this morning to the amazing news that NASA PSYCHE MISSION had just took place from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. What makes this different from just any other mission is the destination. The first thing that jumped into my head is the movie “PASSENGERS”. I know I’m a dreamer, but the thought of sending a large group of earth inhabitants to a distant colony planet 120 light years away from earth gets my immediate attention. But, one cat wakes up and gets lonely and decides to find the flyest chic sleeping and awake her too 🤣🤣 Psyche… Read more: NEW FRONTIER
Greetings and Salutations to the Graduating Class of 2024, It’s my pleasure to stand before you and praise your remarkable accomplishment. Today is much more than just a commencement; It’s a benchmark to the culmination of a multitude of years, as part of a meaningful journey of hard work and dedication. You have showed a level of true resilience, embraced change and endured improbable outcome of major life impacts. You were directly thrown into a worldwide pandemic which changed life as we know it. Your fortitude for success was put on front stage as you as well as the faculty and staff met the challenge without skipping a beat to the educational standards and… Read more: New Journey Begins 🎓
The Olympic Games kicked off today in Paris France. Such a unique way to introduce the athletes from their native country land arriving on boat. Rejoice in this spectacle as this will be a time to remember in such a beautiful country. I’m so humbled for life’s opportunities and adventures. -Astro-Nut 👨🏽‍🚀
LOOK IN MY EYES AND TELL ME WHO YOU SEE…. Do you see the rhythmic heart beat that beats so intensely. Sublime inner thoughts articulated more with results and impact than understood accepted phases of symmetry. Can you see the flow of my passion and assured deliverance of my vibe. The constant overflowing thought process that links me to the origin of the Ashanti Tribe. Yes my descendants from the Ashanti Tribe are with fair skin and light eyes, and inscribed into a western culture civilization of slavery and sirnames derived. Does your vision not transcend beyond the physical, and… Read more: PERCEPTION
Progress means different things to every person. But no matter how you define it to fit your situation, its main elements include some type of growth, consistent improvement through learning and understanding, and forward movement towards achieving your goals. While everyone wishes and works hard towards achieving success, sometimes things don’t work as expected. How you handle adversity, which we all face in life, determine our future. Often in life the lessons we learn are painful. But the growth is needed to understand where you are going. Setbacks in life are merely challenges that teach lessons. Placing your faith in… Read more: PROGRESS
Looking back at the past 6 months is a blur, Compounded by long hours, old fashions and business- hotel travel Dujour. That sounds deeper than it really is meant to be, Since an occasional libation is definitely not me, More a testament of hard work solving an anomaly, Frustration, Aggravation with high yield and Expectation, Drilling down into a problem with multiple derivations. Many a day/nights coming up with not a clue or resolution, The feeling of defeat lost in multi-level mathematical pollution. Never giving up, starting to see light at the end of the tunnel, Targeted resources and countless… Read more: Project Truths
Well, 2023 has officially come to and end….. It seems like the time goes by so fast, like sand sifting through my hands on a windy day. One thing I did learn this year is patience with understanding in my journey. I think we often want things immediately and more times than none, not willing to either put in the work, no matter what way you look at it. Nothing in life is for free and if you don’t work toward a goal it will never materialize. There are no free-handouts and those that live to gain success this way… Read more: REFLECTION
I have traveled all over the Continental US and abroad. But, I have found myself for this week staying in a high rise Hilton in Downtown Salt Lake City. I must say that this sky line never gets old and living in LA for 26 years; I know a thing about sky lines. The first thing that hit me was how clean the air was. I guess something I have learned to take for granted living in smoggy LA. But I guess every place you go has it’s plus and minuses. After a 2.5 hour flight, then making it to… Read more: Salt Lake City perspective
I feel a little embarrassed about this post, but part of my therapy is driving this, and opening up and sharing more of my life and nothing but positivity. Something I have never done before and kept hidden under a cloak. My current position has brought back travel that I used to frequent once a month. It really is coming at a good time with new discovery with regards to my son, who I haven’t talked to in over 10+ years. The Lord provides blessings in many ways and this information, although helpful and hurtful, is part of the healing… Read more: Sleeping in my BACKYARD
The most simplistic segment of time embedded feeling of sound Layered rhythm of understanding, resonated by feeling bound When my tempered glass shows a truth so clear Resonates in the form of love, no fear Take a chance on me with no regret Rewarded with compassion, tenderness, support and endless love Pitfalls in the past replaced with hard lessons, Reinforced not bitter of positive sensory wave discretion Symbolism of time spent ready for progression Long walks, quiet time and time spent resting Days now spent with a calm sea of waves of peace Catered gestures of thoughtfulness supported by strong… Read more: SONNET TO LOVE
I often think of space as a continuum of time and galaxies, unexplored with no boundaries or structure. I look at space with my high-powered telescope and do my own exploration, and investigation of the vast conundrum of meticulous platforms of dark matter and bright stars. But, let’s explore exactly what might exist with a comparison study of two topics that have more parallels then you might think. “In my eyes, it speaks to how love has color but color-blind, it has depth but is timeless, it has momentum but stead-fast, it can be stifling, but gives life, it’s structured… Read more: SPACE AS A PARADIGM TO LOVE
Cracking the door to the sound of Stiletto Heels , Relating to the feeling of the day is done- So surreal. Not focusing but reading between the lines to the understanding, A hard day is behind and searching for a soft landing. Cliticky-Clack the sounds resonates as reverb on non-listening walls, The sound draws closer like symbolism of doors or makeshift stalls. Curiosity fills the mind of what drives her to achieve, Is it the social status the power or the satisfaction of being able to breathe. Meticulous detail and love of expensive accessories and fashion-savvy attire, Not a strand… Read more: Stranger in 4C
Rebuilding a trust blown away in the sand, True forgiveness after footing on unstable land Can you see that water is hot just by one gaze, Do you yearn to test it and understand its phase Looking to the sky to gain strength of choice, Deriving one’s feelings with a targeted plan to rejoice There can be know-ones fault in a blind exchange, Distorted by circumstance pouring down like a hard rain Day dreaming of a kinder more intriguing point of view Determined intellect with perturbated voice of new Current perspective taking the time to just listen Anxiety for the… Read more: Sunlight
My grand father on a fishing trip when I was eight, Gave me words of wisdom that at the time I couldn’t relate. He often spoke words of profound understanding and depth, Only to be understood during maturation and time of deep breaths. He said; “GRANDSON EVERYTHING THAT GLITTERS AINT GOLD, AND UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TRUE FRIEND AND AN ASSOCIATE WILL BE TWO-FOLD” Being such a young lad this went right over my head, Little did I know his words were shaping things I would have to be fed.. Over the years people will come in and out… Read more: TERRITORIAL
In my thoughts today. I just wanted to express my feelings of fortitude and positivity for the future. Bless all the Fathers out there making moves and working to establish meaningful relationships with their children.🙏🏾 -Astro-Nut 👨🏽‍🚀
How many nights did I spend looking at hundreds of qualitative theorem from Bernoulli’s equation, to why the Gravitational Redshift and the prediction of General Theory of Relativity work timelessly together. Quantum physics to Laws of Energy and mostly what I remember is being broke and trying to figure out how to shake the vending machine enough to get a second bag of chips at 3:00AM in the morning 🤣 No matter the school, the Engineering building was much more than a concrete 3-story quadrilateral institutional platform of learning. It was everything from a Hotel, Social outlet, Vaudeville Act, Place… Read more: The best Internship ever!!!
The weather has turned and brought in some well needed rain. But the selfish side of me has just down right loved all the precipitation and the freshness that it brings to a usually smoggy SOCAL. I decided to travel a bit for my usual monthly meeting instead of staying in my predictable hotel area in El Segundo. I decided to venture out and see a part of town, I really didn’t know much about. Kinda crazy, but since I’m not paying for it and on per diem. I found a cool hotel to stay in for 2 days and… Read more: THE EXPLORER
The Epicenter of this galaxy is filled with mystery, Discovery of a feathered layer of texture brimming with activity Gazing at a water drenched planet screaming for help, Due to years of abuse and ozone depletion heart-felt Pity our existence for destroying such a majestic planetoid, Or vast in the reassurance that they are in a much better sun drenched Mecca alkaloid Stars surrounded by ailerons with built in transparency, Basked up on all sides by truncated levels of mystery The ambiance of a protected rainbow of controlled splendor, Defined by a constant array of a wonderful integration of unknown… Read more: The Flying Phoenix
I guess it’s my time to travel. This time a quick trip to our sister site Sunnyvale, California to assist with a program. I have been here once before. Luckily they told me on Saturday and I was able to fly in and catch some Sunday Night Football, San Francisco 49ers -Vs the Dallas Cowgirls. Sorry Dallas fans I just couldn’t resist. This emergency travel is a pain, but also gives me a sense of accomplishment and accountability, that they need my input to solve a problem. So I don’t mind, and it gives me a chance to explore this… Read more: The Golden Gates
(August 20, 2023) Something I always struggled with was taking care of myself. I used to think that Therapy and going to Spas for massages was for the rich, or just a waste of time. I was miserably and terribly mistaken. No, I was just dead wrong!! Both of these two elements have become so important to me this year, that, I wish I would have been able to afford both back in the day and understood the importance they demand for a healthy Mind, Body and Soul. The impacts are felt in varying aspects, but the feeling of strong… Read more: Therapeutic Repeatability
