@§,.¨,,¨¤. my greatest treasure, the £,@#¨,,.,¤
,#£¨,¨¨¨,£ book of stars, is a combined map, ,,£¤¤¨¨¨,&
¨£&&....,¨ calendar and timepiece as long as you ,.£¨&§¨,¨¨
¨¤¨§#,¨.,¨ know what year it is. every page is a .¨¨¨@&£¨,,
.,,@#£.,¨¨ grid of nine starfields, hand drawn, ¨,,.§,¤§¨.
.¨¨£¨@@,,, below which are written coordinates in .¨,,.¨££#.
¨,,¨.¤§§,, both space and time. a lot of it is &¨,.¨,#.¤£

£#&,¨,,#,£ reordered, some names i have never ¨££#¨¨,¨,.

¨,@¤#,¨¨¨£ impossible. ¨¨.@#@¨.,.
