No wonder ancient people honored the sun,
the reliable, predictable sun.
Our bright star might travel along the horizon
in a northerly or southerly direction,
depending on the season,
but it only truly goes away at night,
and returns,
bringing with it the morning,
and the first bird song.
The birds know the rhythms of the sun.
They don't have to check their clocks to know the time.
They know,
and they sing!
