As I was running along the mountain skyline yesterday - in the predawn - looking east towards the Pennines, I saw the red streaked rain clouds heralding the rising sun
I kept looking east and eventually as I got onto higher ground the top of the golden orb of the sun came into view
I paused, to watch this, the most significant time of year for me ...and offered up my first ever prayer to the sun -of thanks for having survived some truly difficult life changes, involving deep challenges and a personal transformational journey.
Feeling truly connected with nature - and really warm inside, I slowly continued my mountain jog
20 minutes later - under the ever lightening sky, I noticed that the golden orb of the sun hadn't moved,and, managing to pick out some landmarks,
- realised that my first ever prayer had been delivered to Stanlow Oil Refinery

I think some of its powers rub off on the shopping complex nearby, given the number of worshippers that head there at any opportunity.
(not that I have been there)
