Stars

Space tornados are events that occur as a new star is formed. While not an an officially accepted term, the winds of a space tornado can reach 62 miles per SECOND. These winds, though, are flat, disc-like, spreading in all directions, carrying massive amounts of particles and gases. Nuclear fusion igniting, swirling, exploding, radiating everything in it's path.

The result of which is - a new celestial body. A young star.

We are stars.
Born of flame.
Born of wind.
Born into the chaos.
We are stars.

Wishing you all a Happy Holidays. Families remember that traditions can change and that there is nothing wrk g with celebrating the Holidays differently. #McLean #StJude #RonaldMcDonaldHouse #ChildhoodCancer #Disabilities #Hospital

Merry Christmas! Now may God, the inspiration and fountain of hope, fill you to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as you trust in him. And may the power of the Holy Spirit continually surround your life with his super-abundance until you radiate with HOPE! From Joey, age 12, San Diego

Dear friend, I want you to know you are loved and people care about you. The world is a better place with you in it. God purposefully created you; in fact, even if you were the only person on Earth, Jesus would still have died just to save you. You are never alone, no matter where you are. God is with you, and if you ever feel lonely, you can talk to him. He will always care. With love, Abigail, age 11, Oceanside, CA

Unexpected Gifts

Leaning in
I learned
Quite by accident

Or to
put another way
As a byproduct of
survival

A gift
from adverse
circumstances

Perhaps even
A gift from the
Universe, itself

Cancer treatments
carry
many many
side effects

My hearing loss
became
a small price
to pay
to stay

alive

I never dreamed
That in return

My leaning
in
On my right side
Became
A tangible outwardly
sign

of my deep deep love
for my
beloved.

For which
I kindly get to
express
to her, for
the rest of
My life
Together
