enLIGHTenment: Multimedia Meditation on Waxing Light

The summer solstice is nigh and the sun is waxing in strength. Everyone I know is in the process of scurrying off to festivals to bask and delight in both the heavenly sun and in the light of each other’s company.

So here’s a different kind of post to celebrate the fulsome light.

Three things cannot be long hidden:
the sun, the moon, and the truth. – Buddha

I can find in my undergraduate classes,
bright students who do not know
that the stars rise and set at night,
or even that the Sun is a star. – Carl Sagan

If I had to choose a religion,
the sun as the universal giver of life
would be my god. – Napoleon Bonaparte

Men shut their doors against a setting sun.
– William Shakespeare

If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt,
they’d immediately go out. – William Blake
