Gods Greater Luminary

My shawl around my shoulders, my books under my arm, I headed for the largest tree I could find.
I sat there reading one of my books, wrapped in the shawl, I saw it, a finger, it reached up and everything around it took light. Then another and the sky blazed, the fingers reached out to the tree, it was surrounded by the blaze. I had to feel it, it was inviting. I moved from the shade into the light.
So warm, I looked up and threw my head back, the ball of light climbed higher. I left the circle moving into the light.It felt good. I dropped my shawl dancing in the light.
I realized what I smelled..the smoke coming from me. I burned, smoldered, blazed, I smiled as the big ball, Gods Greater Luminary, the Sun, welcomed me into it’s arms.

Afterthought

It had been hard explaining to the little ones why they couldn’t go outside, even though they had read the Vampires survival guide, the example of Sireena, sad though it was, gave them a visual, an understanding, no manual ever could..
