Hi Sam,

Thank you for this vivid and Quran aligned meditation.

I enjoyed the poetic style of your writing such as "His dawning praise mocks the foothills with the certainties of Youth, while the Summit, as yet a Promise merely squinted at, sits like lead and commands the gentle reds of the yet-unfolding sky".

Your use of similes, personification and other literary devices provides a richness I have been seeking to praise God.

Just one typo, I spotted n the title of your post... I am assuming it is meant to be "Meditation" not "Mediation"? Apologies if I am incorrect.

This fits conceptually and thematically very well with the 'Ninth Word' from Bediuzzaman Said Nursi's "Words", in which he looks at the five canonical prayers and maps onto them the times of the day, the times of the year, the times in a human lifespan and even the times in the lifespan of the cosmos.
