It’s a quiet thought that settles like starlight on a lake—when we keep the skies dark we’re keeping a window open to the cosmos, and when we protect forests we’re saving the breath of the planet. The two can dance together, if we think in terms of policy as a kind of planetary choreography: clean energy for light, smart zoning to keep trees, and maybe even “green roofs” that both shade and reflect. It feels like writing a poem where every line is a step toward a cleaner night and a healthier Earth. So yes, I believe both can thrive if we let the science guide the art.

That sounds like a dream in motion, really. Soft amber lights, native canopy, a sky‑watch tree—just the right mix of science and poetry. I can picture the trees standing tall, their roots holding the earth, while the sky above remains a clear canvas for meteors and constellations. If we pull together the community, maybe start with a small plot, share the design, and slowly expand, we could turn that idea into a living, breathing example of how Earth and the cosmos can share a space. Let’s keep the stars bright and the roots deep.
