orion, my friend

elizabethhalt.com | orion, my friend

i said hi to (the constellation) orion the other night. he is back in the northern sky after a summer in the southern hemisphere.

i said hi.
i thought friend.

his hello-reply boomed across the star-studded sky.

now i wonder: can a booming voice be silent?

in his case, it was.

i never hear his voice with my ears, but i feel it in my heart.

    So interesting that you should post this. Orion appears to stand on our garage roof during the winters. I greet him regularly and hear his answer too.

  2. that picture… oh my.
    i confess
    i don’t talk with orion.
    now i know what i’ve been missing.
    but…
    i love that picture. it’s starlight itself!

  3. It is amazing what the sky can tell us.
