There was a big windstorm here last night and the power got knocked out for several hours. In the middle of the night, while the wind was blowing, I got up to go comfort my dog, who was freaking out.  I finally got her calmed down a bit, and lay down on the couch with her.  Then I looked out the window.

Bright lights were shining in through the glass. With the power out, there were no lights on across the harbor, and no glow of ambient light in the sky from the nearby cities.  The light shining in through my window was starlight from the Orion constellation. The handsome huntsman, with his gleaming belt, seemed to be standing outside on my deck.

The huntsman in mythology steals the heart of the queen.  But the huntsman is also the one who looks after the hounds.  My dog curled up on my feet and we both went back to sleep then, guarded by the huntsman in his silver tunic.
