Just out of the blue an opportunity dropped in my lapThe chapel auditorium was packed
No fanfare on arrival
there she was, hoping her presentation could be projected
on the large ‘clever touch’ device
right before my eyes…
(Steve Sherman was setting up for
The Living Maths Space Tour)
Her hair was topped as if with snow
and every move, sparkles caught the glow
a little girl approached, poster in hand,
and out of the women’s pocket
was gifted with who knows?
maybe a patch of a rocket?
The day before 800 girls were honoured by her presence
and there have and will be many more
“You have to be a lifelong learner,
Learn something new for yourself everyday
Each one of us has their own unique space to inspire”
the women said
She had seen for herself, the Earth is round
the stars of Orion were so clear
in the blackness of space
while earthlight caressed her face
I am Dr Sian Proctor, she said.

On 2020.11.03 at 02:21:51 a gust of wind or something that went bump in the night sent a shudder through Canary Two’s spine.
My mission to M32 was there to capture that moment.
This resulting beautiful image, we call it Slooh Art, took me way back to days of vinyl records and José Feliciano. I had to frame it.
Listen to the pouring rain,
Listen to it pour,
And with every drop of rain,
You know I love you more.
Let it rain all night long,
Let my love for you go strong,
As long as we’re together,
Who cares about the weather…..”
