Summary

In Sunrise Gatherings, young Delanis rises before dawn to join three unique morning rituals across rolling fields, coastal coves, and terraced highlands. Under Yirana’s gentle guidance and alongside Kovar’s mountain-song, Delanis learns breathing exercises, silent beach meditation, prayer dances beneath cherry blossoms, and echoing chants on misty cliffs. He shares simple offerings—flower garlands, freshly baked bread, droplets of river water—and records each practice in his dream journal. By journey’s end, Delanis discovers that the warmth of sunrise lives within his heart. This heartwarming tale invites readers to embrace mindful beginnings and carry the light of dawn into every day.
