the light of the sun

From Meditations on Intention and Being: Daily Reflections on the Path of Yoga, Mindfulness, and Compassion by Rolf Gates, Day 352

“The light of the sun is warm, gentle, and strong. A place for wounded hearts and withered spirits to find the strength they need to walk back into life. A place to remember picnics by the river and the way your heart leaps at the sight of flowers in bloom. The sun’s light is perfect for adventures with friends. In her presence we will take someone’s hand and they will take ours. In her warmth we will remember that we can begin now always. With her light on our face we will find our place among the grateful and our love will be true.”

 

Oh, the many abundantly delicious days of my life blessed with sunshine and all that goes with it! Indeed, there is something special about the sweetness of the sun’s light and how it touches and shapes our lives. I’m really tuning into her these days, as her hours upon us shrink into the seasons of fall and winter, and relishing each moment she graces me with her presence.
