SUNBLINK — [Noun] A glimpse or flash of the sun. From sun (Old English sunne, "the sun") + blink (Middle English blynken, from Old English *blincan, "to shine, gleam"). Unlike "sunbeam" (a steady, linear stream of light) or "sunburst" (a dramatic, radiating explosion of brightness), a sunblink is transient, almost furtive. It is the gold coin flicked between clouds on a stormy afternoon, the sudden flare on a windshield as a car turns a corner, the wink of light that dances on a wave before vanishing—proof that the sun, too, can be coy.
