Friday Five ~Star Gazing

1) Do you wish on shooting stars?

I haven't seen one for ages, but when I did, I'd be so wonderstruck, that no words would emerge! But perhaps a silent wish went out from the child heart!

2) Would you like to travel to outer space?

I wanted to be an astronomer so that I could.  But it was like a dream and not an intention. An armchair astronomer! I read all the sci-fi that I could lay my hands on, and virtually visited space. Then, I began to meditate.
And space travel took on a new meaning.
So- that's a yes.


3) Do you like astrology?

Ummm--like? Perhaps not really. I feel the stars speak to us, but I'm not sure if that always comes through clearly through the words of others.


4) If you could name a new planet, what would you call it?

Estara
That's what came through without a moment's hesitation.


5) Do you enjoy star-gazing?

'Enjoy' is putting it mildly! Looking at them hungrily isn't quite so attractive, but sometimes that's how it seems! Each night, I've to orient myself with my 'favorite' constellations [yes, Orion, Sapt-rishi and the Pleiades cluster when we can see them!]  and stars. Whenever I travel, I look for Orion, and when I see it, I know I'm home.
