Goddess is From Venus

[cedar_grove]

Fresh as dew, our Perperia,
goddess of the plants and herbs,
washes all the land with rain:

Vines burst out in heavy blossom,
tree boughs groan with blushing fruit,
fields grow lush with ripening grain.

--Macedonian folksong

Even in winter the dark sky carries the bright stars above our protective atmosphere, and the moon sways the deep ocean's tides.

And Venus moves across the sun and makes soothing, though strange music...

No... I realise this is not at all what this post was supposed to be about, but after yesterday, and all the excitement of the Transit of Venus, it made me think about this - about the sights and sounds of the cosmos... about what Earth sounds like from far distant space. Of course these are questions that I can't really answer, being Earthbound here - but I got a taste of the possibility yesterday while listening to venus. I could have listened all night - it was bizarrely soothing.
