More About Me

What I want you to know about me...

I became a Christian on Sunday evening, January 9th, 1994, and was baptized on Sunday morning, January 16th, 1994. On Holy Saturday morning, April 19th, 2014, I was chrismated into the Faith of the Orthodox Church.

My screen-name, Starward-Led is the natural final form evolving from my c.b. handle, Starwatcher, the gift I was helped to receive by my First Beloved, BlueShift, just after dusk on Saturday, July 10th, 1976. The new screen name is inspired by my favorite Scriptures: Revelation 22:16 (foremost), Matthew 2:2, 2nd Peter 1:19, and Sirach 43:9-10. Additionally, the phrase occurs in Edward Bulwer-Lytton's long poem, King Arthur, Book XI, stanza 125 (coincidentally, Bulwer-Lytton's novel, The Last Days Of Pompeii confirmed me in my interest in ancient Roman History). I hope to live long enough---if the Lord will so favor me---to see the entire year of 2027: its days and dates, beginning with March 1st, will correspond exactly to those of 1976---the most transformative year of my life. I pray that I may enjoy the personal significance of 2027 in full, to its very last night, as Starward-Led. I use three other names on this site: 'Anthropos' for certain Biblical poems; Kyakuchuu for poems in Asian forms, and Starward. Any other name is now spurious.

Constantine Cavafy's poem, "Very Seldom," describes my situation, and my hope for my Ad Astra poems.

My Haigo (or Haiku name), Kyakuchuu, means "footnote" in Japanese.
