Awe Beneath Orion: Finding Gratitude in the October Sky

Spread the love

Even when meteor showers hide behind the clouds, the heavens still have gifts to offer — awe, wonder, and the quiet joy of belonging to the cosmos.

October is supposed to be a great month for meteor showers in the Orion constellation. The peak days are the 21st and 22nd. I’ve been checking Orion each day but so far I have not spotted any. It has given me something else (no, not a stiff neck, lol); it has given me a sense of awe as I look skyward. The planet Jupiter is my early morning friend and I’ve followed it’s journey. I’ve made friends with Venus and Mars as well. I am grateful to be a part of all of this.

Reader Question:

When you look up at the night sky, what feelings or thoughts stir within you — awe, peace, curiosity, or something else entirely?
