Sun’s return

Early this morning we stood out watching the sky brighten from yellow to orange and waiting for sun to return to the world. First there was light off the mountains, then light off the nearby apartment building, then off our own house.

Then lnhammer stepped back, toward that house. “There it is,” he said.

I stepped back too, and bright bright sunlight shone right into my eyes. The sun had been up for a few minutes, only we’d been standing in the wrong place to see it. Though I went back to that place, and it rose soon enough there, too, shining over a roof and through some tree branches.

A happy solstice to you all. The days get longer from here. 🙂
