To give thanks or to show your disdain
The choice that can be made to keep you sane
A joyful day or a dreary one can be decided by one thing alone
attitude.
To be thankful or to be selfish
To give to others or take for yourself
It's your choice and your choice alone
Joyfully living or living alone
Thanksgiving Day: a day to take time to remember
Taking the time to reflect on our lives at the end of November
And seeing what we have and putting away our desires
Taking the time to be thankful for the things that transpire

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.
