[I meant to post this some two weeks ago]For anybody who happens to be up in the early hours of the morning - before dawn, say, perhaps, to turn the lights on in the church - and who also happens to look up to the heavens something new should strike your eye: the constellation Orion.
Orion is, quite easily, my favorite constellation and has been for as long as I can remember. He is also - most unfortunately - a winter constellation, meaning that we in this hemisphere see him throughout the winter nights and in the summer he is gone from our view.
The fact that he is now rising in the early morning is a clear omen of pending doom: the death that is winter, but I shall enjoy him nonetheless.
