Long Wait

Here Come The Sun...

Catch it now or wait until 2039: Saturday’s rare ’ring of fire’ solar eclipse will be visible in parts of the western United States, as well as Central and South America.

Do the math.

Carpe Diem.

Grateful for the sun that makes it possible to be here on this unlikely odds-against green planet in the vast colorless surrounding space.

In the meantime (double entendre) we are turning on each other like cornered rats, behaving as if there’s sun enough for only some of us, and the rest are expendable.

Not a reliable survival strategy. For any of us.

The power we lust after is no match for the power the sun provides for the well-being of all of us. The survival strategy that might work is to equate our Mother Sun with God/love who gets forgotten as we make futile, self-destructive attempts to stake claim to what belongs to all of us.

The love is what gave birth to us, and that love will sustain us.

If we’ll embrace it.
