Sharifa, your words are gorgeous and spoke to me deeply. My coworkers and I were just talking the other day about places we’ve been where you can truly see the stars, and our deep longing for that experience more frequently. And Robert, I love when you write about sci-fi - it’s a genre that has consistently comforted and inspired me.

Thank you! It’s such a gift to be able to see--to notice--the stars. Many of us also have the luxury enjoying the night without fear. A gift.

I adore and commiserate with Robert’s Star Trek inspiration, and am awed by Nya’s loving scholarship of astronomy. Can’t wait to see what we write next!
