The Sun From Shining Nature
Have you ever seen anything in your life more wonderful
than the way the sun,every evening, relaxed and easy, floats toward the horizon
and into the clouds or the hills, or the rumpled sea, and is gone...
and how it slides again, out of the blackness, every morning, on the other side of the world, like a red flower, streaming upward on its heavenly oils, say, on a morning in early summer, at its perfect imperial distance...
and have you ever felt for anything such wild love...
do you think there is anywhere, in any language, a word billowing enough for the pleasure
that fills you, as the sun reaches out, as it warms you
as you stand there, empty-handed...
or have you too turned from this world...
or have you too gone crazy for power, for things?
- Mary Oliver
i was there when u were working on this fabulous project. i do appreciate it. although there r profound meanings behind ur work, but i mostly like it because of the connection u`ve made between sun and earth-it seems that they r hugging each other
