I Awoke to Glory
In some circles that would be understood to mean that I died, but that’s not the sense in which I’m using it. My meaning, and my person, rest in this world.
No, I merely got up early yesterday, and walked out in the last twenty minutes or so of pre-dawn, seeing most of the stars in Orion – it was still that dark, and Orion is one of the few constellations I actually know. By the time I returned home the sky was bluing up nicely, all but one or two stars were hidden, and by the time I had finished breakfast the cherry tree was catching the full rising sunlight.
This is what salvation must be like after a while.
