asakiyumeThe sky was like this, this morning:
I had to drive the healing angel to school and as we were driving, the sun was rising. First just the bright curve of its back, glowing intensely, not quite blindingly pink-gold. Then more of it, almost all of it, and something about the cold day, maybe, but I thought I could see the swimming surface of it, the ebb and flow of the flaming waves on the surface of it, those incredible convectional currents. It was so BIG and so BRIGHT and appearing in our sky, and I felt my chest swell, like
That's my star, you guys! That one right there, coming up into the sky, blooming like a molten rose in a foundry, that's my star!
It's a bragging right I share with everyone on Planet Earth and, indeed, the solar system, though by the time you get to the Oort cloud I guess the proto-comets are like, yeah, whatever; it's just another bright dot to me. (They think that until they pull in close, but then, with their hair streaming back in the solar wind, they change their minds, I bet.)
Seriously, though. It was the feeling you have when your parent/sibling/child/partner does something awesome, and you feel all bright inside because you're connected to that person.

Story, poem, something?

Date: 2015-01-17 03:06 am (UTC)I love this image! I got a sunrise of sorts this morning in Kuala Lumpur on my morning run. There were too many buildings around to see the actual sunrise, but the crow's wings shown golden-red underneath as they flew overhead. They actually look black when you see them normally, but when you see them in the sunrise, you would swear they had red wings.
