Thank you for the introduction to John York and for his moving, and so beautifully crafted 'naming the Constellations'.<br /><br />As a boy in rural Devonshire, England, I also lay on the farmhouse lawn of my childhood and wondered at nameless stars. My eyes were sharper, and the air clearer 60 years ago, but neither were needed to feel them again through John's lovely words.

I love the idea of Polaris as the penny nail from which the Dipper swings. And Grandma sitting among the stars, scattering stardust for the celestial chickens.
