The sun - our central source of life - is more than just a burning gaseous sphere tens of millions of miles away. It sets the pace of our existence, providing us with the heat and light required to harness energy, grow, and develop life.
So what could be more symbolic than a warm, sunny day in the middle of summer? This is when the sun shines in all its glory, boasting its power and providing the abundant light and heat we need to grow and develop. We use this energy to exist, to happen, and to propagate.
A beautiful summer day is the perfect backdrop for marveling at this wonderful phenomenon. The bright blue skies reflect the sun’s full light, and the warmth heats our skin. The scent of fresh flowers and vegetation fills the air, and life ages and unfolds around us. We feel life intensively, filled with energy and vitality.
In this contemplation, we understand how much the sun, a beautiful day, and summer are not just physical or metaphorical topics, but symbols of life itself. They remind us of the energy, vitality, and development of life. They remind us of the warmth, light, and means needed to grow and develop.
When we enjoy a beautiful summer day, we are actually celebrating life itself, the conditions that allow us to live, and the energy we use to grow and unfold. We sustain ourselves from the sun, from our celebration of life.
