Welcome to the 2024 Perseid-Brinski Event!
It’s finally here!
I’m delighted you’re here with me to celebrate the night sky and man’s feeble attempt to speak of it. Here’s what you can expect every Monday in the coming weeks as we count down to the peak viewing window for the Perseid Meteor Shower on August 12:
- A post with the Perseid-Brinski Banner (see above);
- A poem or short blog focused on the night sky;
- A link and recommendation to purchase JJ Brinski’s new book, While the Morning Stars Sang Together
- An invitation to sign up for my newsletter for a chance to win an autographed copy of JJ’s book;
- An invitation (for current newsletter subscribers) to share my post for a chance to win an autographed copy of JJ’s book;
- An invitation to share your own words (prose, poetry, song, favorite memory) or nonwords (oooh, any artists want to share?) about the night sky;
- And who knows what else?!
We begin our adventure with one of my favorite pieces, a poem titled Sacred Spaces.

What do you love about the night sky?
Do you have a favorite night sky memory?
Would you like to share a photo, painting, poem, or memory that I can feature during the Perseid-Brinski Event?
COUNTDOWN: 42 days until peak!
Do you have a viewing plan for the meteor shower? If you’re in my locale, reach out – Little Lady, Little Joey, Hubby and I (okay, and our dog) would love to have you sit out and view with us!
Don’t forget to SIGN UP for my newsletter or SHARE THIS POST for a chance to win a copy of JJ Brinski’s new book, While the Morning Stars Sang Together!
Be a fireball in the dark, friends!
From my heart to yours,
