Light

Daily writing prompt
Are you more of a night or morning person?

Travel with the light. Be awake when the light shines bright. My clock does vary from summer to winter. As the seasons shift so the moment of morning changes. That comes with being up at our comfortable northern latitude.

My megapixels eyesight picks up any hint of the rising Sun. Every day, I like to celebrate Ra’s[1] daily journey across the sky. Light and life are one and the same. The Sun provides life and heat as it banishes the dark of night. We are solar powered.

How could I be anything other than a morning person? Almost medieval, the night is a place of hostile forces and mysterious unknowns. I like to see with full resolution the colours of the universe and all its glory.

Moods swing. To me, most emotional harmony is to be found in sunlight. Even on a dull wet cloudy day when morning creeps slowly into consciousness. That’s still better than watching the Moon’s sombre glow or a distant star set against the emptiness of space.
