Esme's Cloud 
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. 🙂 ❤ 🙂
