I totally agree. I thought after i published it that it would be a difficult haiku to “like.” Golly, some folks go for months without ever seeing a star. I think that is so sad.
Thanks, Julie. Interestingly, it is a direct translation of the Japanese word for the milky way: amanogawa.
I see you are doing some fascinating things with healing and meditation. I am so happy to see you involved in such important work.
Light pollution can be a real detriment to observing the night sky 😦

I’m glad to be living in a place where the stars are visible at night. I’d die without that sight.
