Star Songs

Daggers hang from older stars
whose light strikes our eyes from
circling heavens, constellations
gathered and scattered in the void,
until your voice calls out to mine:
in your arms—entwined—always.

Which Muse lights on my eyes in the
deeper dark, inscribed behind these
blind holes I try but fail to focus on:
toward the sky, climbing up a flight
of stars that stare back at me, don’t
avoid the incantations stabbing me.

Looking for #laughs & general chaotic good energy this weekend?

Francesca Mason-Boring - Having the courage to face and facilitate love

Online workshop
June 12th

"As systemic constellations evolve in multiple provocative and productive directions, we are invited to revisit the flow of love in the family system. The presence of love in places that we find uncomfortable, and having the clarity to make a pathway for love continues to be the greatest challenge and the most courageous opportunity in systemic constellations. What biases do I have that prevent me, what beliefs do I have that would limit me when confronted with love in constellations."

#constellations

Ancient Babylonians & Ancient Greeks looked at this part of the night sky and said eh.

But then Petrus Plancius came along and slapped a giraffe on it -- thus, #camelopardalis was born!

For more on the history & some made up #myths about this constellation, check out this week's podcast: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/camelopardalis-myths-and-retconstellations/

[Space Environment] On Tuesday, the #academies of sciences from the G7 countries met in Paris to give voice to #science. On this occasion, three declarations were signed by the G7 academies and presented to the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron. One of them is entitled ‘Large #Satellite #Constellations: Perspectives and Challenges’ : https://www.academie-sciences.fr/sites/default/files/2026-05/S7%202026_Large%20Satellite%20Constellations%20Perspectives%20and%20Challenges.pdf

New episode out!

Since Camelopardalis doesn't have a Greco-Roman #myth associated with it, we'll explore other giraffe lore & Wax Poetic to try to create a new myth for this part of the night sky.
