Looking towards the east one early morning I saw
a glow over the horizon. It was still dark outside
and the twinkling stars glittered delightfully over
the world. The emerging glow looked like something
was set ablaze in the distance. I could not see spark
nor flames nor smoke just a small but very noticeable
glow that interrupted the darkness in the distance. The
far light was made up of many colors of red, orange
yellow and a tinge of blue where the light met the sky.
the light stretches a great distance across the expanse
finally fading back into darkness at the furthest points.
The most intense light came from the center of the
blaze which was straight ahead of me. As I gazed upon
this phenomenon minute by minute it grew brighter
and brighter, reaching up even further into the sky
Replacing the darkness and outing the stars close to
its edges. Then I saw it, peeping over the curved surface
of the earth like a curious spectator peering over a
high fence; It was the source of the great light. The stars
were all gone at this point; hidden away behind the
morning sky. All the creature of the air began to sing
almost in unison at the coming of the great light. As
the minutes tick by the curious spectator swelled to
a round, bright ball of light. No longer being able
directly look upon the fierce circle of light I turned my
back towards it. I could feel a gentle warming effect
evading my body starting from the back of my neck
spreading to my shoulders and down my back. The
warmth comforted me and made me feel alive. What
is this creature? is it a dragon? Is it a great volcano
erupting behind me? What can be so bright? What can
share its light and heat with the entire world?
can give life to a wilted flower? What can so easily
usurp the night and make the stars flee behind
the deep blue sky? I turned again to face the silent
usurper with my hand over my eyes. A warm
sensation filled my face. Sliding my hand slowly
away I opened my eye and I saw it, only for a moment
as my vision was overwhelmed by its radiance.
