"Throwing a thought to a meteor
and touching a supernova..." 
I did never imagine astropoetry to be 
such a wonderful bridge for friendship, attracting noble minds and connecting people to stars through their souls. 
"Not everything that shines is a star,
not everything that flies is a comet."
Certainly, the soul can either shine and fly. 
If your soul is touched by some of the <Astropoetical Adventures>, I'd be very happy to feel we've already shared this joy.
"Life is a variable star." 
Let's shine together!

I'm grateful to all my friends on Earth and beyond for their encouragement and support, which have lightened this wonderful bridge of friendship. 
Our bridge.
