Stunning. Googled the book and ordered it. Seems like a slightly more modern Walden.

On the subject of night, there's a book called Acquainted with the Night by Christopher Dewdney all about the dark hours. I think you'd dig it.

Thanks for giving me something to meditate on while snot and suffering pours out of my face - tested positive for covid last night. Wish I had those dunes and that sea to gaze upon...

Beautiful. A few days ago, when I woke at 4am, I walked outside barefoot, to look at the stars. I do this every day. I stood in awe for some minutes looking at Orion's Belt and the Milky Way.

And then Starlink passed by. Slowly it moved across "my" sky. It felt frightening and un human. It felt like a take over, a pillaging. I walked back inside, head down, feeling rather empty and discombobulated. The next early morning my sky was filled only with nature's own miracle. While "he" travelled across someone else's starry sky. It may have been yours. 🌠
