Adorned in light

Well, the sun has set on our 5-day Into the Sun blog series. Thank you,  thank you.

It has actually been more than 5 days; I have skipped some days and the reasons vary – rain, laziness, too much work at work. But, when I did write, I found this little exercise very refreshing. It has helped me use a different part of my brain (or use the brain differently) – that is, the act of writing creatively. And, it has definitely helped me to notice and celebrate the sun during this season of change. However, no matter how mindful we try to be; it is inevitable that we get swept away by a wave of confusion, anxiety, and haste. Maybe this wave is a byproduct of the society that we’ve created, I don’t know. But, if we can bring ourselves back to noticing things and get out of the funk every now and then – bravo!

Lastly, I leave you with some fun facts about the sun (from https://space-facts.com/the-sun/). Cheers!

• The sun is not a perfect sphere. It is imperfect by just 10km between the poles and the equator.
• The sun is a yellow dwarf star (main-sequence G2V star).
• The sun is 4.6 billion years young.
• The sun is 70% Hydrogen, 28% Helium, and 2% other stuff.
• Our planet can fit inside the sun a million times.

Hopefully, you are inspired to learn more about the sun or just to look up once in a while.
