Symbols are doors that enable us to enter other universes. They are based in associations and from this week onwards I want to invite you to make a list of free associations based in a symbol that I will post here in the blog.
This week we will talk about the Sun.
As you know there have been sun deities throughout history.
In Ancient Greece as well as in Egypt, the Sun was portrayed as a masculine God : Apollo, Ra.
Yet, in other cultures, such as Japanese and Nordic cultures, the Sun is portrayed as a Goddess. For instance, in Japan, Amaterasu was the sun goddess who was born from the left eye of the primeval being Izanagi. The ruler of the Plain of Heaven, she was the oldest daughter of Izanagi. She hid in a cave until Uzume lured her out, at which time a beam of light, the dawn, escaped.
Now, you take the floor : what do you associate with the Sun?
The sun …
Associate the sun as a source vital to life; the father, light, warmth, strength and even sunshine. When very small, saw my dad as Sun, because, the sun rose and set on him.
When my daughter was born, the name we felt strongly about was Re’ and named her, Re’Anne. Her favorite song as a baby, was ‘You Are My Sunshine’, and still sing it to her sometimes.
Then in later years, read a little bit about Ra and this was exciting!!
Thank you Paulo, Much Love to All, Jane : ) xo

The Sun is divine.
Would make the plants dehydrated or could feed em with nutritions neccessary for their survival.
Would make the animals freeze to death or could comfort ‘em with its warmth.
To humans it’s importance is yet to be reallized. The world is closing in to Global Warming (WAKE UPPPP)
A layman like me just think its great enough to have it aroun’ to comfort and ease the pain of a gloomy day.

The gift of life I’ve been privileged to receive from my parents - my name. It has taken me years of search to appreciate its meaning and to love it with full gratitude.

Sun…..
Its rays of light
shows us the colours of Life
From the orange chest of the robin,
That visits me in the morning.
To the deep blue of the sea,
that lies in front of me.
Where the white clouds pass by
showing us the heavens of the Sun.
Its an instrument of God and a companion to us.

O sol é a energia que nos dá a vida.
Quando amanhece e vejo os primeiros raios do sol, me lembro daquela música do Cat Stevens:
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken,like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing, fresh from the world
Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall,on the first grass
Praise for the sweetneess of the wet garden
Springing in completeness where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one ligth, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God’s recreation of the new day.
