Kiss the Sun

Another Papa/Kyra exchange.

“Papa, what are you doing?” asked Kyra as she watched her grandfather embrace the sun with his tanned face.

“I am dropping everything that keeps me from the flow of the eternal.” He said it is such a way as to leave questions moot, a tone so commanding, so authoritative, so sure, one just stood in the midst of mind spinning.

So Kyra, with tiny white dress stood on the southern deck and, like Papa, held her face to the sun and her hands outstretched. Papa noticed and said, “What are you doing little one?”

“I am embracing life and the sun is embracing me back. We are naked, our souls as one.” And as the last word rolled off her lips, she kissed the air.

Papa laughed and as hard as Kyra tried to maintain her composure, she started laughing too. Before long, they heard the familiar voice of Grand. “Okay you two, time for breakfast.”

[SPINNING ON that dizzy ..]

this is so precious - I love these kind of moments in time and you captured this so nicely. Love the exchange between the child and grandfather - says so much - the bridging of family/generations/souls.... awesome capture here.... Had to laugh too because I just said to my daughter this morning as the sweetest summer breeze was coming in the window - she asks - what are you doing and I said trying to memorize this smell for like February! haha - so, I relate "eternally"..... cool!

Very special, and at heart, the heart, clear and bright and eternal.

This is delicious! I see no age difference between the two- instead, I see two souls already familiar with one another, speaking an ancient language- using English to expel. Just lovely. The title of the chapter pulled me in, and you certainly did not let me down. Thank you for this!
