Eyes that follow the trail of the fire in the sky are filled with astronomical distractions - shobana

A couple of days ago, when I stood at the window of my bedroom, I witnessed a magnificent sunset. As always, sunsets and sunrises are a phenomenon to me.

The phrase "Eyes that follow the trail of the fire in the sky are filled with astronomical distractions" is a poetic way of describing a person's experience when gazing at the night sky.

It means that while a person is focused on a single, striking event, such as a meteor (the "fire in the sky"), their attention is simultaneously captured by countless other objects and phenomena of the universe. The "astronomical distractions" refer to the stars, planets, and galaxies that become visible as we look up at certain times of the day or night, mainly during sunrise and sunset. A person's focus on one specific, fleeting event leads them to become engrossed in the vastness and complexity of the cosmos.

The Adventures of Tiny Star

New Publication by #PublishDrive - Read about the adorable Tiny Star who slips and falls from a cloud and what happens when it lands and gets stuck in the Earth's crust.

#The Adventures of Tiny Star is an adorable story I wrote for a very special young man. He turned six on 27th August. I was more excited for him, and began crafting this story a couple of weeks before.

It has everything a child will love - adventure, intrigue, and it will bring on that infectious smile with the antics of the forest animals.

The links are below. Read the sample on Amazon. #GiftAChild a book today - and let's begin their first reading experience.

The Adventures of Tiny Star

Trapped in Earth's Crust

by Shobana Gomes

Book 1 - First Edition

Synopsis

Tiny Star slipped and fell off the clouds one day. Oh boy—what an adventure that turned out to be! He landed face down, burning a great big hole in the ground, and tumbled deep into Earth’s crust.

Nightingale and Owl saw everything. They trembled as the ground shook and spewed thick black clouds.

All the plants and animals of the forest were covered in soot and struggled to breathe. They heard Tiny’s cries for help... but who could save him?

Well, someone could. A mysterious black cloak of smoke circled Tiny and carried him away to the sea.

Read how Tiny Star was rescued and reunited with his friends in the constellation—an adventure full of wonder, courage, and cosmic magic.
