1849. November 1


six thirty-three am
something popped into my head:
o - r - i - o - n





I was just sitting here in my reading chair this morning when “Orion” popped into my head. Orion is my favorite constellation of stars. I used to look up into the nighttime sky to see the Mighty Warrior’s stance, legs long and wide, bow and arrow taking aim. It always inspired me. Orion is visible in the Northern Hemisphere during the winter months, rising from the east around November and reaching its highest point in the southern sky around March.  Today is November 1. . .time to start looking!

(This is an old drawing that came to me in a class where the teacher said, put some dots on the paper, then connect them.)
