Orion and me

On my walk last night, the sky was clear enough to see the stars. I turned around and looked up and there was Orion with his belt hanging over me.

I thought back to a time when we first moved to Canyon and were subscribing to the morning paper. I remember a specific morning, running out in the dark in my nightclothes,  snatching the paper on the sidewalk, turning around and looking up. There was Orion overlooking our roof.

It is comforting to know that Orion is still up there after so many spins of the earth.
