I can but only guess how many hours went into researching and writing this posting, with its fascinating and unexpected tapestry woven around the word 'star'. But more than that, it brings to the surface the connectedness of history embedded in the present day, a kind of deeper joy hidden in the subtext; such a contrast to today's onslaught of divide-and-rule. Brave words, and their brave speakers, are a precious fragrance in such times.
