Salute to the Sun

Ok, i admit it, I am a sun worshipper. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mean the kind that lies for hours on plastic bed at the beach, cheek to cheek with hot sweaty strangers. Eww no that is just not me.

 No my worshipping the sun is a personal and private affair. 
Oh yes, give me a field of tall grass to lie in, with the earth's heartbeat against my back and the sun's rays energising me any day.  

I cannot help but be enthralled by the magic of the sun's rays filtering through a canopy of leaves, as clear and pure as a sparkling mountain stream, making the most simple objects spirited and magical. 

My breath is taken away by a sunrise, with the first peak of the sun and the anticipation of knowing that its rays bring light and hope for a brand new day, and that they will light up the sky with energy and warmth. 

Then the sunsets, that leave me glowing, with peace and satisfaction of a day well spent, as my spirit is warmed and comforted by the knowledge that my sun will return to me once again in the morning. 

Yep, I am a certified sun worshipper, and will always be searching for and smiling in it's light.
