There Is So Much Humanity Has Learned From The Stars. A Few Weeks Ago I Stumbled On A Beautiful Navajo

There is so much humanity has learned from the stars. A few weeks ago I stumbled on a beautiful Navajo creation story that alludes to this.

“When all the stars were ready to be placed in the sky the First Woman said: I will write the laws that are to govern mankind for all time. These laws cannot be written on the water as that is always changing its form, nor can they be written in the sand as the wind would soon erase them, but if they are written in the stars they can be read and remembered forever.” - Navajo creation story quoted in ‘Fire in the Mind: Science, Faith and the Search for Order’ by George Johnson Image: Photographer Jack Fusco recently captured this incredible view of the night sky above the Anza-Borrego Desert in California.
