I miss you

I miss you. Where we once wandered, now we walk with the stars forgotten at our feet.

Orion

The constellation Orion makes sense from only one point in the universe.  It's pattern is distinct from only one perspective. Each of the stars, even the nebula itself has absolutely no connection to the others except from here. So how remarkable is it that I can trace them with my finger, and draw their meaning from my memory straight from my heart to yours! It doesn't make us any closer  nor does it make the miles fall away but it reminds me that you're mine;  that wonderfully unlikely part of my ordinary life.

Orion

My favourite constellation is Orion. I like it first and foremost because on a cold clear winter night it is easy to find in the sky. The four corner stars are very bright. Once you find it and your eyes adjust to the darkness, you can discern his belt, the three dimmer stars across the middle. If you keep looking and the night is just right, you can see his dagger hanging off his belt: even dimmer stars in a column. And on very special nights, far from cities and stress you can actually see the Great Orion Nebula - a cloud of interstellar gases where stars are actually born. With each thought we share, each story, picture and sound, we see a little more of each other. I am certain if we keep looking, on a very special night, far from our daily lives, we will discover the universe together.
