Autumn Sun

One of the things I miss is the sun. Particularly the autumn afternoon sun, say 3pm - 5pm. Man, I loved it. The warmth, the beauty, the crisp smell in the air.

See, school let out around that time. (That probably has something to do with it haha) I would come home to a sanctuary, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost smiling down on me, their radiance filtering through the trees. The leaves splashed with oranges, reds, and yellows. "Magic isn't real", you would answer if I just asked, right?

I'm telling you, there was magic in that air... A feeling like Gabriel and Michael were flanking me. I wasn't a Christian then, so maybe they really were there, trying to get through my thick skull.

I love this land, I really do. From the time I followed my dad around the woods, the time electric wheelchair wheels started snapping twigs, to the time now when I miss the days I took for granted. Especially that autumn afternoon sun.
