"The sky was clear - remarkably clear - and the twinkling of all the stars seemed to be but throbs of one body timed by a common pulse.", .Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun., .In awe I watched the waxen moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an amber chariot towards the void of infinite space wherein the tethered bolts of Jupiter and Mars hang forever, festooned in their orbital majesty. And as I looked at all this I thought... I must put a roof on this toilet." -Les Dawson, Follow our stars under a painted sky, Galaxy Fest, I would rather be a superb meteor- every atom of me in magnificent glow than a sleepy and permanent planet - Jack London, Interplanetary Waltz, Oh don't let's ask for the moon. We've already got the stars.- Bette Davis, opening endless skies, We are all made of stars, We're in the Spandex spiral vortex
Much as Icarus drifted too near the sun, I fear you might drift (upon the cloud) too near the infinite. However, said drifting does allow spectacular views.

I’m quite the daredevil in truth and walk a fine line up here anyway because I have terrible balance. Of the latter I’m with Mae West – ‘I used to be Snow White, but I drifted’.

Both – ’tis a dance of sorts methinks, there feels as though some kind of embrace is going in within to Esme – it’s both beautiful and hot stuff all in all. ❤

Like a big cake! Ideally a Victoria sponge with raspberry jam and buttercream. The universe is rather like baking with all those ingredients out there.

Nice, yes, I like that, expanding, merging, splurging with a few booms along the way. Space is far out man!

Lovely, and not a single star or planet will touch the other. That’s a big table.

I know, merging as one from a distance yet zoom in and the spaces are vast, people don’t look at the universe enough. The Astronomy Picture of the Day is a superb site for perspective and awe I find.
Nice to see you John.

I see an outline of Africa, the home base of homo sapiens: that’s what. Mayhaps, perchance, without a doubt, clearly and blearily, brightly and spritely, in a stardust sort of way: a glimpse through the Möbius strait (just like the Straits of Malacca but completely different in every possible way, of course). To the East, Africa was her neighbor, across a short strait of sea miles). Say, isn’t that Koala Lamb-purr over thurr? Shurr, shurr, shurr.

Gracious thanks from the surface of the Earthace, Esme. I subscribe to Intergalactic Tropospherian Review as well as Handwritten Wordage Gourdage. Each recognicizes GTHWD as worthy, wanderful and winsome/losesome. Wordage Porridge has listed GTHWD as the tome to follow if you treasure convolutional contextual contusions. Just saying. 🙂 ❤ 🙂
