ReplyDeleteToujours agréable de te retrouver Ruma et merci !
ReplyDeleteEtymology of Star is almost perfect. How beautiful it is! In the infinite space, stars are born and gone. But, till the light of a star reaches to our eyes, it takes eons. So, the star we see now may not exist anymore. It is interesting and sad.
