morningstar



My nickname on line is and always has been "morningstar"... originally i picked the nick cause it stood (in my mind) for a lonely star.. the last one before the sunrise.. all alone out there in the universe... and that thought appealed to me..

It turns out that there isn't actually any star named "morningstar".. according to what i found on the net......... "Venus, the jewel of the sky, was once known by ancient astronomers as the morning star and evening star. Early astronomers once thought Venus to be two separate bodies. " So all this time i have been wrong.......
BUT i also discovered while i was googling "morningstar" that it is an insurance company.. a newspaper - more rag than newspaper - an investment company - a golf course - music publishers.. oh yeah.. and a mace......
Now isn't that a wicked looking instrument.. ummmmmm not the least bit what i had in mind originally.......

All of these thoughts and searches stemmed from cherish's picture that she sent me (see above) it is entitled "morningstar".. she said she thought the picture was beautiful.. i do too .. and i find that morningstar a bit mysterious.. a bit hidden?? something .. i am not sure what....

Thank you cherish for the picture and ultimately a topic for my blog .. (i think i had writer's block tonite)

  2. Well you know that mace has a resemblance to your finger nails not that they are in any way related. morningstar, eveningstar would seem right one body of two minds.
