made by many gods

A thousand of us between now and the
unknown beginning; perhaps more, perhaps less,
generations fading in the mist, each
believing – something, or nothing –
each a product that produces
new faith; the worship of
hands, beasts, the Sun,
mountains, oceans – and elsewise;
what we know to be eternal is, at most,
a hundred linked hands –
the rest, faded, gone,
names spoken in silent rooms
whispers returned to the earth.

I Did It Again

Just because I can.

✅

I didn’t really have anything important to talk about and feeling the jitter juice kicking in I figured that I might as well change the daily to showcase that.

3 – My Journey with AI. This is a fun way to leave a trail of what and how I have come to learn using this wave of the future. Twenty years from now I’ll probably be long gone but others will still be able to see this [by then] obsolete journey and hopefully understand the struggles and satisfaction I got out of doing it. https://peaceful-threads.com/dawghouse-dial/

2 – Challenges! I love how you guys jumpstart my thinking process.

https://mad-missy-work.blog/2026/08/03/missys-mad-challenge-104/

Your challenge for this week

• I found the truth tucked between yesterday and almost. ✅

Gazing into the rearview mirror of life is sometimes a fascinating view of the accomplishments I have made but knowing that I can only look in there so long before putting my eyes back on the road in front of me, I found the truth tucked between yesterday and almost.

And today’s number 1 answer…[drum roll]

1 – Sharing pieces of my altered mind through poetry. Weather good or bad I have fun writing whatever comes to mind, be it from my past or just a vivid imagination.

My Cup

My cup is empty so give me a sec
If I don’t fill it up I’ll become a wreck
Changing the daily to fit my mind
I now attempt another silly rhyme
Nicotine is calling or is it the beans
Reality is not always what it seems
I raise my Starbucks and offer a cheer
To thank you my friends for being here

Τότε και τώρα | Φρήντριχ Χέλντερλιν

Στα νιάτα μου ήμουν χαρούμενος τα πρωινά,
τις νύχτες έκλαιγα· τώρα που είμαι μεγαλύτερος
η μέρα μου ξεκινά μ’ αμφισβήτηση, όμως
το τέλος της είναι ιερό και γαλήνιο.

at a fruit stand on the side of the road
selling the best peach ever grown,

there is a true, pure-silver work of art

one of a kind, nothing else like it,
completely unknown – completely unknown –
there is someone out there
who is perfect. perfect,

Brighten My Day

As the beautiful sun brings another fantastic day to life I find it’s a great day to be a coffee lover.

As I sat here this morning trying to get on the wave of waking up I seen an article on MS news of one of my favorite things in life and had to share it with you.

Coffee to the Rescue !!!

Drinking 2-4 cups of coffee daily may lower risks of heart disease, stroke and atrial fibrillation. Coffee’s polyphenols and micronutrients may support glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

You may think that regular coffee consumption causes heart issues, but drinking coffee throughout the day could do more good than harm, per the new review. The review notes that drinking a few cups of coffee each day could lower risks of cardiovascular conditions like atrial fibrillation (AF), coronary artery disease, heart failure and stroke.

In one cited randomized trial published in JAMA, people with AF who drank at least one cup of caffeinated coffee daily had a 39% lower risk of their arrhythmia returning after treatment compared with those who avoided caffeine. The AHA also found that drinking two to three cups of coffee per day was associated with an approximately 10% lower risk of coronary artery disease. And a cited meta-analysis studying 2.4 million people linked three to four cups daily to a 21% lower risk of stroke

Beyond heart health, your cup of joe offers more potential benefits. Most evidently, the review suggests drinking 3.5 to 5 cups of caffeinated coffee per day can decrease risk of type 2 diabetes by up to 30%.

Although caffeine is highlighted in this review, the AHA emphasizes that coffee’s perks may also come from its polyphenol and micronutrient content. Specifically, coffee contains a polyphenol called chlorogenic acid, which can help your cells create, break down and store sugar for energy, supporting your glucose metabolism. Plus, the magnesium and chromium in coffee can also benefit insulin sensitivity and lower blood glucose concentrations in the body.

My Earnest Reaction

Brew yourself a pot and guzzle it down, repeat process and write a poem.

The Java Jubilee

Take the time each day to wake up and see
the great benefits provided for you and me
Decaffeinated beans are a big waste of time
while Sumatra beans are opening our minds

As we add the beans to the filter with care
the smell of fresh roast begins to fill the air
Hot water slowly flows into a magical brew
waiting for it to finish you run into the loo

Filling the first cup helps kick start the day
Awakens the senses in a special kind of way
Eyes opening wide as the energy starts to flow
You feel the rush and away you quickly go

To much at once can lead to writing balderdash
sending your post into a growing pile of trash
Everything is cool as you return to the coffee pot
Knowing without it life would be for naught

1. The Java Jubilee

This was a really fun post for me to do today as I cruise into my second pot!

ENJOY THE DAY MY FRIENDS!

I am volcano

Grey is the colour
Wisp-puff lead and charcoal swirl
Of my true love's skies

I'm interested in haiku and the latest members newsletter from Australia has a really interesting piece by Leanne Mumford about the concept of ma, the space between.

What is left out is as important as what is included. A similar idea is found in photography, a space for the viewer/reader to interpret.
