Why Would I

I could sell my house but then I would not have it,
so why would I do that?

I could shave my head, but I already look ridiculous
so what would be the point?

I could rent out my art studio, but the only thing I would get is money though,
I already work, right?

I could part with my dog, if I was dead, and if all my relatives were dead too.
Maybe not.

I really enjoyed this. It is cool to imagine being "soul watched" by this amazon of the sky!

It really is. And it is humbling too if you sometimes forget to be humble.

It is a terrific thing to see, for sure. Once seen, you never feel quite the same about the sky.
