Before dawn on spring solstice, Pleiades appear at the horizon; Milky Way still spans east to west.

Then sunrise, Pleiades dim, and the moon pales.

Venus, morning star, comes running.

Each constellation represents meaning that is a being, and all beings connected, so sky has spiritual dimension.

We gaze up into dark energy of great fluidity.

Perhaps words like being or spirit aren't accurate; even though I say, my sisters who rise at dawn, I mean presence as reciprocity.
