in the vast canvas of the cosmos, where stars are born in silence, one learns that the reticent sky watches over us with a quiet wisdom, whispering the secrets of eternity as it pushes aside the veil of darkness. through pre-initiation rites of looking upwards and pondering the infinite, one approaches the realm of understanding, ready to commence again the journey of discovery. it teaches us that, like the cosmos, there are times to be reticent, reflecting upon the marvels before us, and times to embrace the mysteries that await.
