Today’s Mandala
Sun
“Even after all this time,
— Hafez
the sun never says to the earth,
‘You owe me.’
Look what happens with a love like that.
It lights the whole sky.”
“People are like stained – glass windows.
— Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
They sparkle and shine
when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in,
their true beauty is revealed
only if there is a light from within.”
“When you look at the sun
— Thich Nhat Hanh
during your walking meditation,
the mindfulness of the body
helps you to see that the sun is in you;
without the sun
there is no life at all
and suddenly you get in touch
with the sun in a different way.”
Today’s MotD encourages us to shine our light like the sun, with warmth, truth, and confidence. We are all of the Light and thus have the ability to shine brightly. What stops us are the delusionary veils of our fears and suppressive beliefs. We can use the energy of the sun as a metaphor to help melt away these veils so that we can more readily shine the light of our Authentic Self.
