Ah, the force is strong in you Chris... And thats coming from someone who has only watched the first star wars movie, and not even all the way through.
Reminds me of Earyhrise, the picture of earth taken from the moon. How that blue/green pebnle must be such a wondrous sight amongst the vast blackness.
Packs such a punch, I had to check you hadn't snuck in a few more syllables 😀

Thank you Lorry. You know your avatar is telling me you have turned into seafood. Now I like seafood myself, especially prawns. Now what's it all about eh? Or am I totally mistaken and it's the insides of your skull?

Ha! It's an extreme close up of a tea towel, a deep dark red one. I have no idea why I done it, but done it I did 😀

[Chris Shaw]

A tea towel eh? Trying to impress us women with yer washing up skills:) Nah, minced brain is far more interesting :)

[Lorry]

I love writing that can cram so much into a few lines. The big picture packed tight but in it there is so much allowance for the mind to wander. Exploration process. Nice work.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you duff for your encouragement. You are appreciated.

Same here in Michigan. Warm days and cooler nights. You are welcome dear Chris.

the star will always symbolize hope a never ending hope that is why we are continuosly searching for the brightest star and perhaps in one way or another the wish will come true

[Chris Shaw]

Sette, thank you so much. We all need a star we can wish upon. All the best.

Chris - Sometimes. hopefully many times, no matter how dark the mass, that solitary bright star is all we need as a sign that all will be well.
Thanks for the beautiful reminder. - Dave
