As long as there have been sentient creatures
awe and adulation, and the timid instinct to
recognize the power and dependence exerted
on the appearance of that ancient orb
that greets us every morning and temporarily
leaves us in the evening -- lighting and warming
our days from dawn to dusk -- the venerable
role of the sun as the giver of life has been
known. Should it ever leave of an evening
and fail to return so too would we in a world
where a cooling planet no longer illuminated
fails to provide the balanced measures for
life to flourish. Winter offers a glimpse of how
vulnerable elements-exposed animals and
vegetation temporarily cope not abandoned by
our fiery star but removed from closer proximity
as we involuntarily orbit its gravitational draw
resigned to the revolution that will restore us
to the benevolence that inspires our renewal
as worshipful revenants to an ancient ritual.
