As we embark on this journey to change
Away from a government so deranged
To one of, by, & for the people
Rather than for hypnotized sheeple
The journey will surely be tough
& some of the going will get rough
But together we all must resist
So our nation might someday persist

From the captain's chair I see shuttles bringing our passengers. Humans. Dogs. Cats. Dolphins. Robots. AGIs. Countless species ready to #embark on our voyage to the stars.

A journalist asks "do you think we'll learn whether we're alone?"

I smile. "We never have been."

#vss365

Ahem...
As we #embark upon this mission, let us remember all those who have gone before us. The many who have perished, the ones who didn't come back the same. Those who dreams were dashed. Let us bow our heads...

Mum? We're just going to the grocery store!

To #commence & #sustain #cartooning, I had How to Draw #Comics the #Marvel Way to #explore, paving a #conflict of interest led by 1980s self-published #comix, until @scottmccloud.bsky.social #published Understanding Comics, a less #stormy tract urging me to #embark into #esoterica.

a bushwalker or
mountain climber
may #embark on
a carefully planned
expedition

the bushwalk is long
with tangles and tripwires
the mountain is tall
with hazards

both are challenges
both have dangers

but tortoises #embark
on such threats
daily

just by walking
anywhere
everywhere

Puppy Love

As always, Puff and I #embark
To Willow Run, our local park
At home, my Chow-Chow's lost her pep
But here, a spring has found her step
No longer docile, calm, or shy
A handsome Keeshond's caught her eye

what if
you stopped
fear
from swallowing
you up

you breathed it in

flipped the switch
made friends with it
now your guardian angel
standing beside you
as you #embark
on something new

"Some say you should only #embark on an adventure when you're ready. Poppycock, I say. Let adventure find you whenever it pleases!

"Raise your glasses, my friends, and let's celebrate those two famous unexpected adventurers today, on their shared birthday.

"Here's to Bilbo and Frodo!"

Evening relax and unwind time.... heaven... #vss365 #haiku

#embark on new course
Shed clothes of past confinement
Bare walk with freedom

Let’s embark
on a journey into the dark.
Whirlwind dreams
blend into scenes
of friends and fiends
where past and future both collide
and all your hopes and fears reside,
playing behind your eyes each night.....

Signals hidden reveal
a message formerly concealed
of vital importance
before we #embark
on our latest FUBAR mission

Of course we did not listen
to the bogus instructions given
cause we ride with Defiance
with all the other mutants
who gladly travel non compliant

"Rite, if I sed I want money so I cud get more rat statues, you'd say?" Riz asked me.

"Ugh, here's some cash."

on the path over skulls and bones
to the castle at the end of time
carrying the sword, the shield
a torch of humanity shining
#embark on the quest, journey
carry despair, fear, and law
deal those as you see fit
hoping to still be a man
at the end of the time
