LIGHT WORKER, LIGHT BEARER AND LIGHT BRINGER – ALL IS ONE ☀️

“If you throw ice at the sun, it will melt; if you throw spears, they will burn; and if you throw bricks, they will crumble. The sun is invincible; all that comes before it is consumed.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

“Be noble like the sun; let even those who resent you for shinning benefit from your warmth.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

“A flower will always grow in the direction of the sun because beauty recognises beauty.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

“The sun is God’s candle.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

“Those who escape from the sun and take shelter under the clouds no longer have the right to complain about the rain!”

“View the sun as your mother, she loves you and only wants the very best for you. So each time you go outside, she beams her loving warm rays on your head, knowing that it will caress you with her love. The sun, being a celestial object, is far more powerful than your heater and her rays are nurturing and healing to all who inhabit earth and venture out in her. So even a few minutes of sun in the morning, or evening can last for many hours, warming, your blood, bones and systems and giving you a feeling of wellbeing like no other.”
There is no mistake, that many of the early forms of mental health treatment involved patients sitting out in the sun, for a prescribed number of hours. The sun has a natural anti-depressant effect, and when this is realized in studies in your future, the sun will again be prescribed as a good way of balancing and healing your body, mind and spirit. Along with gentle, walking and gardening daily in nature, all are ways of keeping on an even-keel mentally and emotionally.”
― Sarah Rajkotwala, Fairy Sparkles

“The sun is for everyone, but not everyone wants to live in the light…”
― Liviu C. Tudose

“You must love the sun! How much should you love? You should love it as if all the suns in the universe have gone out and only our sun is left!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“At rest, however, in the middle of everything is the sun. For, in this most beautiful temple, who would place this lamp in another or better position than that from which it can light up the whole thing at the same time?”

— Nicholas Copernicus

“It is the artist’s business to create sunshine when the sun fails.”

— Romain Rolland

“Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to a focus.”

— Alexander Graham Bell

“The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”

— Christopher McCandless

“For Someone Awakening To The Trauma of His or Her Past:

For everything under the sun there is a time.
This is the season of your awkward harvesting,
When the pain takes you where you would rather not go,

Through the white curtain of yesterdays to a place
You had forgotten you knew from the inside out;
And a time when that bitter tree was planted

That has grown always invisibly beside you
And whose branches your awakened hands
Now long to disentangle from your heart.

You are coming to see how your looking often darkened
When you should have felt safe enough to fall toward love,
How deep down your eyes were always owned by something

That faced them through a dark fester of thorns
Converting whoever came into a further figure of the wrong;
You could only see what touched you as already torn.

Now the act of seeing begins your work of mourning.
And your memory is ready to show you everything,
Having waited all these years for you to return and know.

Only you know where the casket of pain is interred. 
You will have to scrape through all the layers of covering
And according to your readiness, everything will open. 

May you be blessed with a wise and compassionate guide
Who can accompany you through the fear and grief
Until your heart has wept its way to your true self.

As your tears fall over that wounded place,
May they wash away your hurt and free your heart.
May your forgiveness still the hunger of the wound

So that for the first time you can walk away from that place, 
Reunited with your banished heart, now healed and freed,
And feel the clear, free air bless your new face.”
― John O’Donohue, To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings

“Roads go ever ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains of the moon.

Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“To see her is a picture—
To hear her is a tune—
To know her an Intemperance
As innocent as June—
To know her not—Affliction—
To own her for a Friend
A warmth as near as if the Sun
Were shining in your Hand.”
― Emily Dickinson
