Sitting In the Sun

Outside letting my legs feel the warmth of the sun. Only my legs, the rest of me is on the porch, in shade. Not enough. I move my whole body to the sun. And my chair. The sun warms up my air conditioned self Fast. All encompassing, softly, in a loving way. I feel hugged, complete, sun-kissed, Sun-approved, my natural sun self. The birds feel it too. We are all joyful here. The sun’s power is radiating into us In happy gloriousness. She wraps her loving arms around us, dusting away all traces of gloom. Despair cannot survive Here in the sun. She does not allow it. Sit in the sun for An hour, and you will Feel a feeling you can Get nowhere else, Except maybe in Heaven.

For me air-conditioning can get too cold, too chemical - I like being outside letting the sun warm me - this is so evocative of that experience-

I almost forget how soothing and loving the sun can be.

I had heard from a neighbor that her mother with dementia has good days, when she is outside in the sun, and not so good days when it is cloudy. I decided to sit in the sun and see how I felt, and it was magnificent!
