Mid Week Motif - Newness
In 75 words or less: A New Year. Again. Are you a fan of "new"? Or are you tired of the whole idea of "new," preferring the tried and true?
Poetry Jam - Fire
So what does fire mean to you
When I first saw the fire prompt, the first thing that came into my head was the sun. I start each day with the Surya Namaskar so combining the two prompts I came up with:
Surya Dev (Sun God)
Surya Namaskar - Sun Salutation

So what does fire mean to you
When I first saw the fire prompt, the first thing that came into my head was the sun. I start each day with the Surya Namaskar so combining the two prompts I came up with:
The fiery rays of the sun
Heralds a new day
I bow in reverence
And duly pray
Surya Dev
May we feel your warmth
May your light shine bright
As we go forth
May our minds be illuminated
Like you light up the earth
May our thoughts be enlightened
And to new ideas give birth
Let each day begin
With the Surya Namaskar
Let us reflect your light
Like the moon and the stars.
