Lani

It is the 15th of February of 2015, on Lulu Island. I am more interested in cosmology now than in astronomy. Physical cosmology is the "study of the origin, evolution, large-scale structures and dynamics, and ultimate fate of the universe." The vast cosmic "watershed" in which Earth finds itself is called Laniakea, from Hawaiian for "immeasurable heaven." (Hawaiian 'lani' is cognate with Tagalog's 'langit'.)

Until then he had not thought of following Lani Aldrich to Honolulu. He had been so sure that she would return to him.

Lani pronounced his name Lonny, and someone told me it had been spelled that way at one time. […] Lonny is a boy's name. Who knows what Lani is?
