What would you do
if your sun told you
it was moving on to another galaxy,
a brighter one,
that it will still shine on you but only in secret bursts?

Gosh, I love the prose you share that reminds me, Yes, Lisa you still have words! You still love words!
Smiling. Me too Lisa. Me too.
As Martin Luther suggests, I will pray and let God worry about the repercussions!
Yes!
I have lost touch – sorry. This is beautiful.
Hey Julie. Welcome back! Thanks.
Thanks for the photo credit.
One of many of your amazing works of art Anneli. Thank YOU
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoy them.
I believe I’d be greatly disappointed as I quickly froze to death. ;-D!
Laughing. Yes, that would be more than mildly disappointing. 😀
Well, we all know how I would cope! ……..
We do. We do.
My mind won’t let me go there…
I can understand that. I can.
i would mourn it’s steady inspiration and warmth
I would learn to love the dark.
Me too Elizabeth…all forms of it.
Ouch. Clearly we’d die.
I try not to think about that!
If I could have a conversation with the sun, in your share… I would be attempting, negotiation… on grounds of threat of denial (from lack of life giving light and sun)…& rejection of “moving on to a brighter one”. I’d say all that glitters, light years away is not gold…grasshopper…and “that you’d still shine on you but only in secret bursts” is an insult, as I have, worth and I am not partaking in any tid bitty, part-time warmth, in secret. I’d say Man Up Mr. Golden Sun and Hang Firm in your Appointed Spot in the Universe…and that he’s tied by gravity and responsibility and I can ride a rocket ship hop scotching around the Universe stopping on and catching the eye of a Rising Star…
Who knew that your were a star debater?!
Ha, but I am a complex girl…I worked for a law firm my last year of high school and part of the time I was attending university…I thought briefly of law school, but didn’t want to deal with the office politics…I did like corporate, probate, Tax and Real Estate department but not the discipline of those fields that deal with heavy litigation. Two scholarship for university had requirements of taking classes that dealt with law…I did fulfill those requirements…in freshmen and sophomore years.Some of the attorneys were corporate counsel for Fortune 500 companies and wrote the prospects (sp) for stock offerings…I so wanted to buy some stock from some of those companies but felt it wouldn’t be moral, to do so. Later I found out it would have been fine to buy stock…wish I would have I would have been a multi-millionaire by 29…oh well…my piece of mind was more important…
Wow, great color. Thanks for sharing Christie.
