Shadow of Enlightenment
by Tony Berendsen (of Tahoe Star Tours ) Rene' how thou are Witness the emergence of a star We are, and so beguiled Occulted once and few awhile A dimming so subtle To miss would be less Than a mote of dust Past a cathedral 's spire. But, within the dusty dimness Kant and Copernicus within us The tinny disk of Venus Traversed our nearest star. Impossibly, without braving space Our essence rose to find a distance, To mark, to measure our existence Within the frightening wonder Of our mind's persistence.

Overture
by Bob Eklund The pink overcast Opens to Orion's stars: A change of season. The low stratus clouds, which so often form at night over the coastal part of Los Angeles where I live, were a shade of dark pink as a result of our sodium-vapor street lighting. Then a gap opened in the cloud-layer, like curtains parting at a play, just big enough for Orion to show through.
