Depends . . .

. . . upon what you're measuring

methods-to-reach-financial-success-in-life/

                                                     

To laugh often and much; 

To win the respect of intelligent people and 

the affection of children; 

To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure 

the betrayal of false friends; 

To appreciate beauty; 

To find the best in others; 

To give of one's self; 

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, 

a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; 

To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and 

sung with exultation; 

To know even one life has breathed easier because you 

have lived - 

This is to have succeeded.

 --- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Success
- Loretta Lynn

            Another Shot

Meteors . . .

 

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/30/threat-to-earth-posed-by-

meteors-must-be-taken-seriously-nasa-warns.html

Meteors that come once a year;

Quite a show of fireworks 

When you’re there to see them.

Shooting stars fantastically glow.

All too soon no one can say

Where they are or gone to.

Back on earth we average reside.

Most of us will never know such adoration.

So I go my ordinary way.

Do my job and feed my kids;

This world and wonder.

Dust and gas -

That’s what they’re made of.

Why all the fascination?

Fabulous! They’ll take your breath away.

They will dazzle with their style 

And their savoir faire.

Improvise; they make their own moves.

All the cattle follow close 

Behind from the pasture.

Why couldn’t I be

One among those many millions?

Why can’t someone see

My astrological worth?

What causes the sea

Of heavenly bodies to glow like they do?

Shining so brightly for me and for you.

Sooner or later they burn themselves out

But oh so beautifully.

Meteors have nothing to fear.

From their distant firmament

They shine for the masses.

Safe above, removed from earthly life,

From uncertainty that lines the 

Cloth of our mortal existence.

Confetti . . .

https://www.pngitem.com/middle/TJxThRh_falling-

confetti-png-download-image-transparent-png/

 

The proactive approach is much preferred

When things that ail become absurd.

No beating round the bush for me.

It's eye to eye with what I see.

Action is quite therapeutic.

No therapy is better than music.

Play it, sing it.

Rub it into your belly. 

Fill the air with it like it's confetti.

                 Critic’s Choice

Regrets . . .

 

https://www.futurity.org/regrets-ideal-selves-1770472/

When I start into thinking 
About the things that might have been,
I find that my imagination has no end. 
And though they’re not without their own attraction,
I can see, each time you look at me, 
I am exactly where I want to be.
And maybe I’ll never have that house in the country.
You won’t see me visiting those ritzy discotheques.
But I have no regrets. 
No I have no regrets.
See I have no regrets. 
No regrets . . . 
It’s a human kind of feeling.
It’s one that everybody knows
At least one time, if not another, as they grow, I do suppose. 
And though these things cross everybody’s mind 
I’ve got the key grasping reality. 
It’s the dessert I’m glad I didn’t eat.
Everybody is searching for something
That they’re afraid they might have missed.
And no matter how hard that you’re wishing
To have a second chance.
Don’t regret that you missed the dance,
Because the past is the past and you’re not gonna change it.
If it looks like I am distant,
Like I don’t hear a single word,
All the times that I’m not listening, but you think I really heard,
It doesn’t warrant any serious 
Concern, you see. It’s still the same old me,
And like a glove you fit me to a T.

The Cosmos . . .

https://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2022/07/12/2742435/deepest-

most-detailed-picture-of-cosmos-revealed-by-jwst-more-to-come

(from https://www.dictionary.com/browse/oho)

oho
[ oh-hoh ]
interjection
(used as an exclamation to express surprise, taunting, exultation, etc.

OHO? Aha! That's a name that rings bells. Baltimore's answer to Pink Floyd, an American underground icon, a band that came out of nowhere playing music the chroniclers swore was years ahead of its time. OHO sneaks around the musical conventions that have mummified so many others, unleashing sliders where you'd expect curve balls, fast balls where you'd expect change-ups. Part of its their sense of humor, part of it their unerring humanity.  Definitely, one of a kind and all in good fun...its got to be.

Not only has the album AHORA finally been released, OHO continues to imagine and create new music, as evidenced by the single Cosmos of the Soul, also now available from most on-line music-sellers.
