I saw 4 dead Robins along the road on my run yesterday. This is one just across the street from my house. I guess spring is here. ~ Matteo

What do we do when someone dies?

I don't know.

No matter how much you search for them or call them in your imagination... They just aren't around. They're gone... leaving that part of their presence in your life that never goes away. And I'm afraid of that part. I'm afraid of that part where I want to see them but I can't, and I can just imagine them, what they would say, how they would look at me, their smile, and everything about them, and I'm afraid that slowly that imagination will also start to fade away.

When we're away from someone for a long time their image starts to fade away a little from our imagination. But then we meet again, everything refreshes. What happens when someone leaves this world? We won't be able to see that person anymore right? Photos will just work for a few memories. I'll tell you what will happen. After some time of their death, we'll not be able to imagine that face clearly at all. We can imagine that figure sitting on a sofa but we won't be able to imagine what kind of expression that person holds. All their expressions will start to fade away. That angry face, that smiling face, that sad face, that confused face, that irritated face all will disappear. We'll be left with just a memory that has no face. We won't be able to remember those details. That's what I'm afraid of. I'm afraid of time passing by without seeing them and having them around anymore. I'm afraid of not being able to see them in that imagination. I'm afraid of losing them in that imagination. I'm afraid of their memory fading away. I'm afraid that one day when I close my eyes, I won't be able to imagine that face. I won't be able to hear that voice in my imagination. I won't be able to remember those details. I'm afraid so I'm closing my eyes, again and again, recalling that face, that voice, all those memories trying not to forget any. I'm afraid that I'm left with so much that I might lose one day. I'm afraid of losing the details that I always want to keep. But all this is making me miss that person even more.

Maybe this is what we do when someone dies... just live with the void of the absence of that person. Having a place of them that will remain vacant always. Having memories of them that will make us sad cause we'll miss them but will be afraid of forgetting them. Being afraid of failing to imagine every detail about them. Living life by imagining their presence in every situation. And knowing that everything will go on but without them.

I ponder of something great - My lungs will fill and then deflate - They fill with fire, exhale desire - I know it's dire my time today

Immortal Jellyfish!

Turritopsis dohrnii are called immortal jellyfish because they can potentially live forever. Jellyfish start life as larvae, before establishing themselves on the seafloor and transforming into polyps. These polyps then produce free-swimming medusas, or jellyfish. 

Mature Turritopsis dohrnii are special in that they can turn back into polyps if they are physically damaged or starving, according to the American Museum of Natural History, and then later return to their jellyfish state.

The jellyfish, which are native to the Mediterranean Sea, can repeat this feat of reversing their life cycle multiple times and therefore may never die of old age under the right conditions, according to the Natural History Museum in London.

Turritopsis dohrnii are tiny — less than 0.2 inches (4.5 millimeters) across — and are eaten by other animals such as fish or may die by other means, thus preventing them from actually achieving immortality.

Canary Wharf, East London. Beautiful scenery and cycling today! Although the weather is grey still enjoyable ride. The view is from Nelson Dock Pier, you can bring your bike on board when using the boat, this subject to the staff if there is some rooms available.

Happy Sunday
