Sunshine on my face
Bright light warms my skin
Perfectly balanced to bring heat without harm
Like a hug from a giant who knows not to squeeze too hard
I feel alive
Knowing this is the same sun that warmed the tomato plant that made it's way into my breakfast
Knowing this is the same sun that warmed the faces of my ancestors and will warm the faces of my children
Knowing this is the same sun that warms the faces of those I've never met as well as those who have sought to harm me in the past
I give thanks
