The leaves are dripping onto each other wetly, but I wonder if they are telling a fib.
The sky is so clear and the stars are so sharp and the air is so crisp that I could embroider on silk with this morning.
Orion, Big Dog, Little Dog right there above me, clear, clear, clear sky limned with dawnlight.
Wait.
First, have I told my dogs about those dogs?? We might need Dog Storytime tonight – it’s Friday!
But second, he has two dogs, Big and Little – I have two dogs, Big and Small. In Orion can I see my reflection? Even in part?
It’s the Dark of the Moon, and Things Happen during the dark of the moon, ye ken well what I mean.
Very well, then. When the Hunter Moon rises fresh, I will learn, study, read, write, follow, discern, listen to the lessons of the Hunter in the sky. My goodness.
