I was recently awarded the Sunshine award by the absolutely fabulous Hey Lady Grey. The Sunshine Award is awarded to bloggers whose positivity and creativity inspires others in the blogworld.
A few thoughts on sunshine before I pass on this award.
When was the last time you stopped to ponder that you and I are basically composed of sunshine? Every cell in our bodies is composed of and gets its energy from the food what we eat... and every piece of food that we eat, whether it comes from plant or animal (which eats the plants) is made from synthesis of SUNSHINE (photosynthesis).
In some ways, sunshine could be seen as wasted energy (simply a by-product of the sun's combustion). Scientists refer to plants as 'dissipative structures' because they transform the sun's wasted energy into useful material (they capture chaos and shape it into more complex order). And thankfully too... or otherwise we would not be here!
I think in many ways love is also a dissipative structure (or perhaps not structure.. but concept). When you love someone or even simply share a smile with someone, it causes there to be a little less chaos in the world and perhaps a little more order and happiness.
And since we are made from sunshine, which is virtually a limitless resource, our love can in many ways be limitless. The trick is to discover that inner sunshine within each of us (which is usually covered up by all the cares and concerns of life). But if we dig deep and re-connect with the source of the sunshine, then we can't help but shine and share love.
So, that is my challenge to myself and to anyone reading this... to continue to uncover the sunshine within and to radiate love.
