The Gift

This week Galit asked you to conjure something. An object, a person, a feeling, a color, a season- whatever you like. But don’t tell us what it is, conjure it in 100 words.


Faithfully, majestically 

 Its fiery body slowly emerges from beneath the horizon,

Dispersing the darkness with its presence,

Unveiling the splendor of life.

Tenderly, its beams of light

Brush the clouds with hues of orange and red.

Slowly, gloriously

It rises as the Earth turns its face towards it

Draping our world with shimmering light and warmth.

Quietly, lovingly

Through windows and curtains it calls 

Awakening us to the dawn of a new day

So beautiful, so intense, so life giving

  1. As I stand, coffee and dog leash in hand, bleary eyed, looking into the sunrise... I think you've captured it far more lovingly than I might this morning.
