Although there were no visuals or vocals, I understood that the cellist was someone who hasn't crossed my mind in many a year: Ester Bloom, whose name sounds like it should be some sort of phenomenon in organic chemistry and who was a blogging collaborator of mine more than a quarter of a century ago. One of her poems from back then was specifically about how she couldn't play the cello and how God had given her "a cello to be instead of to play."

Cello dream
I had a dream with no visual component, just music: a single cello playing, with great intensity and virtuosity, the Beatles song "With a Little Help from My Friends." It's been in my head all day -- the cello version from my dream, that is, which appears not yet to exist in the waking world, though I did check YouTube just in case.

In Bill's absence, I thought I'd try the name game. The scientific sense partially derives from "ether", but I was more interested in the similarity to "Esther". It apparently stems from "star" in old Persian and is sometimes linked to Ishtar; in Hebrew it relates to "hide/hidden"; and there's a strong connection to the myrtle plant due to the biblical Esther's origins.
One site that came up in my search said myrtle has "star-shaped" flowers; image search indicates there are several other kinds, but five-petaled blossoms were evident enough. That added emphasis to sync with (surprise surprise) Wuthering Waves -- on Sunday, I'd stumbled into a minor questline involving a ruined tower formerly utilised by a "Bloom Bearer", an agent of the protagonist's secretive organisation. Think I've noted this before but said blooms (five-petaled) often bear markings akin to four-pointed stars, made more prevalent in the organisation's emblem.
