Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

Invictus !!
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
- William Ernest Henley (1849-1903)
This shot was taken in the recent visit to Kolkata, India. It was a rainy day, I was sitting at the balcony watching people go by. Every day I see this gentelman going to work, rain or shine it dosen't bother him. When people stand under the shade , I have seen him not stopping and walk by.
He is invictus, he is the captain of his soul !!!
Life is full of twists and turns. Of that there is no doubt. The question is whether or not you will meet the curves that will inevitably come…unbowed and unafraid. Mastery and captainship are within your grasp and they are the key to the revelation of your greatness.
Enjoy the moment !!!!

2022 Invictus Game athletes get uniforms and practice in Washington, D.C., before they leave for The Hague.
This is the personal fighter of spacer Jax Redbird, my sig fig. Whether it's used to destroy navies or tow asteroids, the Invictus is tough, dependable and practical. Jax spends a lot of time making it work just right, and occasionally adds on new parts as technology improves. She's old, but she can beat whatever's rolling off of the assembly lines today.
This ship hasn't changed much since 2009 and even though my skills have improved, I still think of the Invictus as my favorite.
