BULL*HORN-- The Orion: 864,000 Invisible Minutes
Connecting the dots is an intuitive process that has been around since the beginning of time. It makes sense that the sky became an element of mystery; an untouchable piece of magic. The Orion (read educator) holds his shield against the mighty bull (read political/educational agenda), who is ready to charge the warrior.
