No hesitation in the Zen stream . . .

Monday, September 22, 2025. It's the Moon's day . . . still New. Moderate Southerlies are forecasted to bring mostly cloudy skies to TulseyTown with rain chances beginning slight today and increasing into tomorrow. Mid 80's.

The first issue of National Geographic Magazine was published today in 1888.

The dramatic series The West Wing, created by Aaron Sorkin, debuted on American television today in 1999.

In 1994 the first episode of Friends aired on NBC, and became one of the most popular sitcoms in the United States. It continues in re-runs on cable and Youtube.

Nick Cave is 68 today. The Australian singer-songwriter, actor, novelist, and screenwriter was born in 1957 Warracknabeal, Australia.

And, Joan Jett turns 67 today. The lead singer/songwriter/producer of the rock band “The Blackhearts,” was born on this date in 1958, Wynnewood, Pennsylvania.

Suffice it to say, I share Joan Jett's love of rock and roll.

Joan Jett was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 18, 2015. Miley Cyrus made the introduction.

Ms. Jett gave us the best definition of rock and roll I’ve heard in her acceptance speech made without notes.

Don't Hesitate

If you suddently and unexpectedly feel joy,

don't hesitate . . .

It could be anything,

but likely

you notice it in the instant

when love begins.

Anyway, whatever it is,

don't be afraid of its plenty.

Joy is not made to be a crumb.

– Mary Oliver, “Don't Hesitate,” Swan, Beacon Press,2010.
