Man is a microcosm, or a little world, because he is an extract from all the stars & planets of the whole firmament, from the Earth & the elements;& so he is their quintessence
Though free to think & act, we are held together,like the stars in the firmament, with ties inseparable

A huge win for koalas. 🐨💚
The Great Koala National Park has officially passed through NSW Parliament!
More than 475,000 hectares of habitat on the Mid North Coast will now be a protected area.
Thank you to everyone who helped make it happen.

25 October 1400. Geoffrey Chaucer, author of The Canterbury Tales, died (aged 56 or 57). He’s been called the “Father of English literature”. He’s buried in Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey next to the memorial statue of William Shakespeare.
Sunday sky at 8.48pm
The rising (nearly full) Moon keeps getting fuller, behind clouds.
Sunday night.

The Moon's the North Wind's cooky.
He bites it, day by day,
Until there's but a rim of scraps
That crumble all away.
The South Wind is a baker.
He kneads clouds in his den,
And bakes a crisp new moon that . . . greedy North Wind . . . eats . . . again!

Timelapse of the rising Moon over the limb of Earth during the March 2025 lunar eclipse. Crew in orbit is lucky to see this a few times per year!
Waxing Gibbous Moon 96.3% illuminated
in a skyful of clouds.
Saturday night.
