“The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.”

Stephen Hawking
A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said ‘What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.’ The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, ‘What is the turtle standing on’ ‘You’re very clever, young man, very clever,’ said the little old lady. ‘But it’s turtles all the way down.’

Hello
Sun says goodnight.
Darkness says hello.
The moon smiles at us.

Listening
Part of doing something is
listening. We are listening.
To the sun. To the stars.
To the wind.
— Madeleine L’Engle
Let every dawn ……
Let every dawn be to you as the beginning of
life, and every setting sun be to you as it closes.
— John Ruskin
Focus
Concentrate all your thoughts
upon the work at hand. The
sun’s rays do not burn until
brought to a focus.
–Alexander Graham Bell

Took this photo on Sunday. The sun was showing weakly through the overcast sky.

A sunny day.
Not hot, not cold.
A perfect 10.
Love it!

The sun shines and warms… – Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sun shines and warms and lights us and we have no curiosity to know why this is so; but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger, and mosquitoes and silly people.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
