Everyone Needs the Sun

Suddenly, the sky cleared.  Just like that.  What had been slate turned blue.  The best kind of blue -- that fall/winter blue like lapis lazuli, the perfect setting for beautiful things.  

And the sun warmed everyone.

The red fox squints at the sun, soaking it in.

The white and fuschia blossoms stretch toward the sun.
Even the black walnuts -- hanging like lethally hard softballs -- soften against the sky and glow in the sun.

Everyone needs the sun.
