Sun Gazing

Early to bed, early to rise
makes a woman healthy, wealthy and wise.

First light. Moments before the sun breaks the horizon, when the sky glows deep orange, red and yellow and the dawn, crisp, resonates with birdsong, when Divine Spirit thrums through every cell of my being, I breathe deep and wait.

Morning rays reach out, invisible tendrils of luminous warmth, touching damp fence posts and frosted grass, creating an ethereal world of steamy fog that mirrors my every exhalation. Gazing at the sun, I give silent salutations, greeting the day with wonder and gratitude. Daybreak, is my favorite time of day. 

I am a novice sun gazer and even so, I cannot adequately describe the utter beauty found in these early hours staring directly into the sunrise—center fractal movement, geometric haloes and a solar aura of vivid blue, orange and yellow—it’s dazzling. 

I probably sound crazy. But hey, I’ll take being an eccentric 21st century hippie to being plugged into the matrix any day!

Y’all be well out there. This moment is all there is, be happy in it!
