Good day from St. Paul, MN on Dec 11, the day of 2020.

Sunrise and sunset define the hours, minutes and seconds of daylight.

Quotation. This work is going to be in our generation's hands pretty soon. So if no one else is tonna do it, I'm gonna do it. Scientist, inventor, design engineer Gitanjali Rao, who is 15 years old, is TIME's frist ever Kid of the Year.   

Appropriately it is International Mountain Day. While this day is not what International Mountain Day celebrates,  Rao scales intellectual mountain peaks year round. 

Today's poem is by W. S. Di Piero.

And here is the lovely painting  on which this poem is based.
