Skiing is a dance,

...and the mountain always leads.

On A Clear Day You Can See Forever

How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star

 

Lucky astrochumps on the International Space Station just had a new room installed, but it's not just some nook cluttered with busy instruments - it's an observatory.  Seven panels, full panorama, the whole cow.  Made just for looking at space (plus some robotics work, and, famously, exercise on the C.O.L.B.E.R.T. treadmill).  Above is NASA's concept art for the new node, below a concept drawing for 2001: A Space Odyssey.

From user pszren, on the vispoets discussion board:

poemics is the art between poetry and comics, well, there are more definitions, sometimes better: poemics is the art of adding elements of poetry and comics, or poemics are works that can be seen both as poetry and comics.

Psychic Attacks and Dark Negative Energies

 

Psychic attacks are defined as the manipulation of supernatural energies and forces. Psychic attacks occur when dark and negative energetic vibrations are sent from one individual to another individual or place creating disturbances in the energetic and physical bodies of the person or place...not everything that's considered difficult in a persons life is the result of a psychic attack, but psychic attacks do happen and they happen more often today than ever before.

Like You Never Left

Hooray for the stately return of Them Thangs, one of those purposeful and premeditated image boards that contrasts the madness of chaotic lairs like 4 Chan. Though careful perusal of the latter can emulate the experience of the former, if one cuts through layers and layers and layers of artless nudity.
