Laelaps

the hound that never lost

Canis Major follows Orion across the winter sky the way a dog follows its person, close, patient, never asking why we're going this way. It watches for the pursuers, the people deep in a long chase, the goal that keeps moving, the almost that stays almost. The hound would tell you it isn't tragic. Running full-out after the thing you were made for is its own arrival, some days. Just make sure the chase is yours and not a curse somebody handed you. Then run like the ground loves your feet.

Being fully what you are is enough, even when the fox gets away.
