The Sun

It’s windy tonight… really windy.. I’m standing in it now… I can see the stars so clearly – they’re brighter than usual.. It’s a nice cool windy night. I’ve been thinking about the sun lately. When you live in the desert you can feel the sun. It isn’t simply this afterthought.. It is present in each moment while you are outside (especially during the summer). I love leaving my dark little office to go out and stand facing the sun. I sort of close my eyes and I feel closer to whatever is true and real out there. I can understand why some desert cultures in the past woshipped the sun. It’s so huge and real and in your face. You can touch it…
