This gives you a better idea of how the vines/nature are really trying to take over the lower parts of the buildings. To get into one of the buildings you had to go through a covering of these things. Well, I've been absent lately and it will continue for a bit. They think they know what's going on but are waiting on another test to confirm the diagnosis. I'm looking at reducing my time online and maybe even going to part time at work for a while until I get everything resolved. I'll know more soon -- I hope. And get some relief -- really hope.

Song of the day: "Heaven or Hell" by Joy Denalane

Poem of the day:
"WITH a whirl of thoughts oppress’d,
I sunk from reverie to rest.
A horrid vision seized my head,
I saw the graves give up their dead!
Jove, arm’d with terrors, bursts the skies,
And thunder roars and lightning flies!
Amazed, confused, its fate unknown,
The world stands trembling at his throne!
While each pale sinner hung his head,
Jove, nodding, shook the heavens, and said:
“Offending race of human kind,
By nature, reason, learning, blind;
You who, through frailty, stepp’d aside;
And you, who never fell from pride:
You who in different sects were shamm’d,
And come to see each other damn’d;
(So some folk told you, but they knew
No more of Jove’s designs than you;)
—The world’s mad business now is o’er,
And I resent these pranks no more.
—I to such blockheads set my wit!
I damn such fools!—Go, go, you’re bit.”"
- Jonathan Swift, "On the World"
