Under the influence of the Pleiades
Maya, Celeno, Alcione, Electra, Estérope and Taigete, the seven daughters of Atlas and Pléyone. Beautiful nymphs, jewels object of the desire of the gods. They took their place in the sky, their names together with those of their fathers served to call the ones that, in their time, were the most visible stars from the Earth, from an open cumulus in the constellation of Taurus.
I wish the ancient terrestrials had had the view we have from here of that open cluster, hundreds of stars grouped together occupying a quarter of the celestial vault, born together from a massive cloud of gas, traveling in different directions through space, separating to perhaps in hundreds of millions of years forget their common past.
Perhaps with unexplored worlds within, perhaps most uninhabitable, but if any were, the view must be marvelous, a sky full of tiny orbs, bathing everything in intense blue light. Perhaps ocean worlds whose depths give rise to life, that swim in the midst of a ghostly cyan illumination, ignorant of the spectacular sky that surrounds them.
Here in Parmenides, one of the worlds furthest from Heracles, in the midst of lakes that freeze during their long, cold nights and gigantic dunes that migrate from one place to another, moved by intense, warm winds during the day. Humans have thrived in the light of the Pleiades, in huge encapsulated cities, to protect ourselves from the elements.
During the nights, their light inspires us, the tenuous luminous mist of dust and gas, a product of their boiling evolution, the intense blue glow of their hundreds of stars, is part of our subconscious, is engraved in our mind and is part of our becoming.
Despite the aggressive conditions of the Parmenides, we are a world of artists, poets and creators. We are the world of all the colonized, with the largest population of dreamers, who dedicate their lives to the inspiration that, for us, comes from the Influence of the Pleiades.
