Sun Worship
There's something so refreshing about sitting in the early morning sun, feeling the warmth it brings while listening to the birds sing their various songs. I don't get to experience this often as I'm usually out the door and off to work before the sun has arrived in my backyard.
But time off brings opportunity to, well... do nothing but sit in the sunshine. This morning is unusually peaceful as my neighborhood seems quiet and still. The cars that frequently zoom down my busy street must be taking alternate routes today; the barking dogs enjoying a lazy start to the day. And no one is in their adjoining yard cleaning up or mowing the lawn.
That may have something to do with the fact that it's "hump-day" and most of the world around me is working elsewhere.
Experts suggest that sunshine brings vitamin D with it, a much needed nutrient following our long and dark winter. The "D drops" that I've applied to my tongue on a daily basis over the last 6 months has ceased and been replaced by the real thing - sunshine, glorious sunshine.
Perhaps I am a sun-worshipper of sorts, although I'm not as hardcore as some. However, the "healthy glow" that results from my morning worship makes me feel better all around.
The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes
