hypaethral • \hye-PEETH-rul\ • adjective• Definition: Open to the skies|| While the definition of hypaethral is meant literally such as an open-topped building, I interpret it as one being open to her surroundings and ideas around her. However, for the purpose of my blog it merely means you won't know what to expect when reading this and the content here is "open to the skies". Musings, collected quotes, and findings shared at whim. Simply so.
