Side by side in the planetarium, we
listened to our guide, and I reached
for your hand. Our guide moved us
across the night sky. “This is the

beginning of time (the constellations).
This is now…(the position of the moon).
This is Spring.” The heavens
continuously, predictably

changed. And as beams of light
drew lines between bright dots, and
Cygnus became a swan, you
drew your hand away. How

marvelous it all was - Pleiades and
Pegasus, Pisces and Cancer. How
real it seemed. I loved the illusion.
