i drift by the window in the east room on this dim early morning & suddenly, the bright new-rising sun kisses me smack on the lips, so quickly that i yield & open fully in delighted surprise! the sun is just above the horizon & it holds on to me for a solid minute: such a deep soul kiss we exchange! i am filled with tender light & i overflow into a song of praise to the sun. the clouds must be very jealous, because they rush right in & cover up the sun's shiny face behind layers & fingers & fists of clenched dark clouds. they throw loud thunder & vivid lightning across the wide sky & lay down thick heavy sheets of hard rain & hail & wind, darkening the sky even more as i watch the impromptu cloud tantrum play out. perhaps it may be improper to enjoy a deep sweet soul kiss with the sun, yet so be it. that kiss ignited my needy heart & blessed the entire day with its majestic spontaneity & exquisite timing! i think that the sun must be in friendly cahoots with Shiva, my other improper lover, for they both can be so surprising!
