"... in the very front row of this enormous spinning space-theatre of ours." So good to remember that we are all everyday astronauts in the midst of a spinning space-theatre!

Thank you.

Orion dropped his belt, that scorpion bite hurt.

Death was imminent.

Endlessly he has hunted the skies

Yet it fell just under hie eyes.

The pyramids laughed in unison.

God and goddesses prayed,

To join him in the skies.

Three kings were asked to deliver 3 gifts,

To the Christ born son.

Gold from the sun, frankinsence from spiritual reams, cut with an emerald knife.

Myrrh from a Blackbird of the afterlife.

This is just what it feels like to be a mermaid, only less dry. Perfect musing for the wolf moon. Beautiful!

I need to refresh my constellation knowledge. Alas I am in sandstone country, nowhere near as solid as the grit!
