Transcript:
Hello listeners! It’s Anthony here with a quick announcement.
I have a new podcast! It’s called Story Time with Fifi and features science fiction short stories and other tales written by yours truly. Each week features a new part of a short story I’ve written. You can listen on your favorite podcast app or on my YouTube Channel “Nanfito Space.”
The debut story, Serena, has been released in 8 parts and follows Serena, the Chief Scientist of the Titanus Underwater Research Station on Earth’s first colony 4.5 lightyears from Earth.
The research station is exploring why there is no life the habitable planet of Titanus. However, a crisis emerges when a deep recon submersible piloted by Serena’s brother, Todd, and Chief Marine Biologist, Kate, goes missing.
Serena must control her mixed emotions, coordinate with the scientists and engineers, and focus on the task at hand: finding the missing sub before it’s too late.
Visit anthonynanfito.com/storytime to listen to all 8 episodes OR search for “Story Time with Fifi” wherever you get your podcasts to listen and subscribe today.

In honor of Astronaut Michael Collins’ passing this week, I’m reposting this poem, Cosmic Duet, and dedicating it to him. I originally posted the poem on July 24, 2019 on my personal instagram account (formerly thehangryfifi, now haikubyfifi). At the time, I was delighted, humbled, and honored that he viewed and liked the video from his account.
Like all the other astronauts of the world, Michael Collins was inspiration to me. His insights about the fragility of our blue and white marble world seem more important now than ever. Us “land dwellers” interact with the world every day and we become accustomed to the solid land, eventually, equating it to strength.
Yet, since Michael Collins and his fellow Apollo Astronauts visited the moon in July of 1969, we have learned much more about our planet and just how vulnerable and fragile it truly is.
May his memory be a reminder and an inspiration that we all need to do our part—big or small—to protect this fragile, blue and white marble that floats in hazardous vacuum of space.
If you can, try to eat a less meat, use less plastic, drive less and walk more, and be kind to all the inhabitants (big, small, and everything in between) of this planet, because there is no Planet B.
Miraculously, we were given this planet (and only this planet) and we need to take care of it, just as it has taken care of us. We’re in a duet with it and so far we haven’t been doing a good job of dancing together.
Cosmic Duet by Anthony Nanfito
Dedicated to: Astronaut Michael Collins
The day is over as yet,
For the sun has begun to set.
Now is the time for the stars to shine.
Each photon journeys through space and time,
Traveling great distances to these eyes of mine.
The light fades and the darkness surrounds,
As the view of the universe increasingly abounds.
This eternal movement from this cosmic duet
Creates a masterpiece within the ultraviolet.

Hello friends. Welcome to The Haiku Pond. A place to ponder life through haiku.
My name is Anthony Nanfito and I’ve enjoyed writing haiku for a long time, but the challenges of 2020 made me truly appreciate this form of short poetry. It helped me stay mindful in a fast-paced and chaotic world, appreciate the simple things, and practice compassion.
I want to share this and more with you in Season 1 of The Haiku Pond. The themes for the first season are: Mindfulness, Compassion, Gratitude, Love & Loss, and Give & Forgive.
If you have a haiku you’ve written that fits one of these themes and want it shared on the podcast, send an email to [email protected] or leave a voice message at anchor.fm/thehaikupond/. Don’t forget your name and where to find you on social media.
Until then, stay tuned and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts. Visit anchor.fm/thehaikupond/ to learn how.
