SUNday
The sun has been around since the dawn of the earth. It is has witnessed the birth of the earth and long will it live to witness its end. Each person and creature who has ever lived or will ever live will have felt the rays of the sun. The dinosaurs felt the sun on their backs just as much as we feel it on our face. The sunlight has reached the highest of the earth’s peaks and into its deepest of oceans that support life that need light to survive. Every living plant has felt the sun’s warmth.
Our daily moods, rhythms and habits all depend on this magnificent star. Our entire lifestyle revolves around the sun, namely day and night. Our seasons are created by the tilts of the earth and the amount of light that the earth is exposed to. It takes approximately 8 minutes for sunlight light to arrive to the earth yet each photon started its journey inside the sun’s core over a million years ago. So the light we feel on our face is over a million years ago. ( pause, think and feel each beam of light).
Since antiquity each culture has revered the sun as a God entity, and worshipped this star with great pomp and celebration. Our own current calendar has a day dedicated to it ( sunday).
For the longest time we thought and believed that the earth was the center of the cosmos till we discovered that we were just the third rock from the sun, and the sun was the center. Its majestic gravity drags us and the other celestial bodies through the cosmos on an epic journey of exploration.
For most of us Sunday is a day of rest. An end to a busy week, or potentially a start to the next week. A cycle. Yet few look up to the sky and just be in gratitude for this star that unselfishly gives us light, wisdom and hope each day. Without our sun life would not be possible, or at least as we know it and we would be adrift in the darkness of space.
A daily practice is to spend 20 minutes out into the sun, feeling its nourishing energies fill our cells and charge us up. We are like solar panels as the rays tank up our moods and physical strength. Our biology is tied to our planet and to that of our star. It is wise to be grateful to this divinely created falsely named “ball of fire” and allow it to guide our day and night ( via the moon).

I love you
