Waking up to a pleasing revelation...

Lyrics:

… It's knowin' that your door is always open

And your path is free to walk

That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag

Rolled up and stashed behind your couch

… And it's knowin' I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds

And the ink stains that have dried upon some line

That keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my memory

That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

… It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy

Planted on their columns now that bind me

Or something that somebody said

Because they thought we fit together walking

… It's just knowing that the world, will not be cursing or forgiving

When I walk along some railroad track and find

That you're movin' on the back roads by the rivers of my memory

And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

… Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines

And the junkyards and the highways come between us

And some other woman's cryin' to her mother

'Cause she turned and I was gone

… Ooh, I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face

And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind

But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the back roads

By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind

… Well, I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron

In some train yard

My beard a wrestling a cold towel

A dirty hat pulled low across my face

Yeah, across my face

… Through cupped hands around a tin can

I pretend to hold you to my breast and find (find)

Oh-oh-oh, that you're waitin' from the back roads

By the rivers of my memory ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind

Songwriter: John Hartford

… Gentle on my mind

You are gentle on my mind

Yeah

doce achado

o teu embargo: dous: beizos cando tan fugaces algo de fuxir:  o meu latexo como palabras de feixe de tenrura

vai frío madurez e distancia tenrura para celebrarte sede de estar ledo e de estar triste respirando cantar sen bonecas con ledicia: amaba as ás

pingas de mar mans acurraladas apenas silencio solpor onde contarche que xa non tes cruces nin angustia nin campanarios anunciando morte pecha de súpeto a rede e a auga treslea sen o sal

writing tip #3461:

beginnings matter. so do endings. and middles. but none of those matter as much as what your protagonist's hair smells like

A green cosmic arc

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows a cluster of hundreds of galaxies located about 7.5 billion light-years from Earth. The brightest galaxy within this cluster named SDSS J1156+1911 and known as the Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG), is visible in the lower middle of the frame. It was discovered by the Sloan Giant Arcs Survey which studied data maps covering huge parts of the sky from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: it found more than 70 galaxies that look to be significantly affected by a cosmic phenomenon known as gravitational lensing.

Gravitational lensing is one of the predictions of Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. The mass contained within a galaxy is so immense that it can actually warp and bend the very fabric of its surroundings (known as spacetime), forcing the light to travel along curved paths. As a result, the image of a more distant galaxy appears distorted and amplified to an observer, as the light from it has been bent around the intervening galaxy. This effect can be very useful in astronomy, allowing astronomers to see galaxies that are either obscured or too distant for us to be otherwise detected by our current instruments.

Galaxy clusters are giant structures containing hundreds to thousands of galaxies with masses of about over one million billion times the mass of the Sun! SDSS J1156+1911 is only roughly 600 billion times the mass of the Sun, making it less massive than the average galaxy. However, it is massive enough to produce the fuzzy greenish streak seen just below the brightest galaxy — the lensed image of a more distant galaxy.
