groups mixed and mingled, the need to learn
about and acknowledge differences in customs
and traditions, and a rudimentary “us vs.

remnants of Human existence found thus

we move through the more recent past of the
Taurean, Arian, and Piscean ages, the topic of
next month’s Star Musing. Till then, please
stay safe and take care of one another.
