a prayer to the sun

yesterday was sunday. it was a cool day but the sun shone anyway.

"why the colors?" they ask. "you're so bright!" they exclaim.

an orange, red, green and blue print ankle length sundress topped with a forest green jacket and wrapped in an orange and red scarf did not seem curious to me until the question was raised by passerbys - so i thought about it and replied,

"well, I am paying homage to the sun.... if you wear it, it will come... this is my prayer to the sun... and it may be cool but She will know I paid my respects to Her today."
