Cloudless
A Thoughtpiece
When the clouds are gone we can see so clearly the moon and stars. They sparkle in the dark night so far away but lighting up the firmament.
There are so many that you cannot count, that cloak of stars they call the Milky Way and so many more.
To see the Evening Star and Morning Star, bright Venus morning and night when you make your wishes.
Away from houses in a field or a forest looking up at the beauty woven by the celestial bodies.
You may be led on grass, by a lake or river and see the stars and heavenly bodies reflected in the water, as well as in the clear cloudless sky.
To see Ursa Major, Ursa Minor and Orion's Belt let your eyes wander through the Universe finding so many beautiful constellations....

To Wander Through A Painting
See a painting and fall into it, imagine you are there, meeting the people, talking with them, and enjoying the scenery. This is not where you are, this is somewhere heavenly, like a dream. In this world you can fly like an angel, walk through corridors and explore nooks and crannies and hidden passages.

Why Black History Matters in America?
The United States of America is celebrating their 250th anniversary in 2026. I'm proud to be an American and as someone who was born here, I wouldn't imagine myself living anywhere else. This is a country where opportunities are possible. Where anyone can be successful in anything they desire to do. Equality, community, and togetherness are the backbones of what America is and should be about. However, we have an administration who wants to erase and disregard those who have made positive, meaningful impacts in our country, specifically Black figures, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and Maya Angelou. President Trump and his administration have been constantly complaining and fighting against what they call the "Woke agenda". They use this excuse as a distraction from other issues they refuse to address, such as the high cost of living, climate change, and inflation. That equality is dividing America, when in reality, it's bringing us together. Being woke is not tied to a specific political party. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you can still care about other people and their plights. Compassion and empathy for others isn't tied to a political party, either. We were taught as children to treat others the way we want to be treated and not judge others because they're different from us. Caring about others isn't a personal attack on your beliefs. It doesn't make you any less of a person. People who are easily offended over African American figures, past or present, or anything related to it, are grasping at straws. Current and future generations need to know who people like Harriet Tubman and Shirley Chisholm were, especially in the classroom. Black History is part of American History. It should be recognized, not hidden or forgotten. Besides, you can't shield children from everything, just because your feelings are easily hurt.

Always breathtaking, getting away from the light to see the innumerable lights above, beyond & all around.
Beautiful and thought-provoking. If this had been read to me, I would have closed my eyes, and envisioned the night sky with the words <3
Nature is within us, and every breath we take is connected to it, just like the universe and God. Very beautiful words that take the reader on a journey and make them feel human.ππΏ
