Some of the earliest records we do have tell us what the ancient astronomers thought about the heavens, and how they used the changing night sky in their daily lives.

    One can tell that the good Doctor likes animals! She even likes to sing along with them? The Camel song! I like!

    Giving oneself fully and openly to another being acknowledges the SPIRIT within that being and creates miracles! HELLO! An affirmation of the power of LOVE!~
