We go in office. An office behind

closed doors and closed windows...

superficial fake lights and circulated

dead Air... we stay in that *closed*

environment for about 8-12 hours a day!

 

We go home. A house of closed doors

and closed windows... superficial fake

lights and circulated dead Air... we

stay in that *closed* environment for

about 12-14 hours a day and night! We

sit on sofa... we focus on a screen 0f

32-60 inches and watch whatever

pictures move there!

 

 

....

 

 

Then, suddenly we take a vacation...

 

We visit Hawaii, Barbados, India or

nay national park, a Beach, a Forest, a

Mountain, a River, a lake or... just

any OPEN Place!

 

The SUN, the wind, the tree... rocking

Free...

 

and, in matter of just 2-3 days, we

feel so different... refreshed,

rejuvenated, re-energized!

 

If you pay little close Attention

then, we will say... the main thing

that has changed is... Now, we are

spending most of our time OUTDOORS...

in open, under soon, in the Real Wind...

 

....and, that Changes Everything!

 

The mood, the emotions, the outlook...

the Life!

 

....

 

You realize... this is also why we

like " driving around " so much! maybe,

still just from behind the glass

windows... but, now we get out in open

away from closed, confiscated doors!

 

....

 

Try getting out once every 1-2 hour

and spending 5-10 minutes in OPEN under

the SUN, in the wind. Feel that Air,

feel that SUN and see what a difference

it makes!

 

Do it for a week and Feel the

Difference...

 

then, again go back to your *normal*,

'closed' living for a week and... fell

how 'different' you Feel!

In dark closed places, in low light...

you feel as if your energy is being

SUCKED out. As if... there is ghost,

vampire, someone, something robbing you

for energy and life...

 

....

 

 

Then you go out in open...

 

The SUNLIGHT...

 

the rocking trees...

 

the Dancing grass...

 

the wind...

 

the flying birds...

 

Blue sky...

 

Floating clouds...

 

the butterfly...

 

and, you feel like 'reborn'!

 

You feel rejuvenated, recharged, re-

energized...

 

 

....maybe, you feel this way because...

 

SUN is the Energy...

 

SUN is the Source Of Life!

 

....

 

 

All the energies on earth is Only Due

to SUN [and few other *stars*!]

 

All the *life* on earth 'depends' on

this energy from SUN [and stars]

 

even the food that you eat... only

comes from SUN as the plant make *food*

using SUN energy!

 

....

 

 

Maybe, *you* are just a natural part

of the whole *cosmos*!

 

Maybe, what and how feel is... just

*natural*! Any *animal*, any *life

form* separated from its natural

environment will *feel* that way...

especially when separated from its

*SOURCE* of Life and Energy!

 

....

 

 

After some time, even *domesticated*

dogs like you to take them on Walk...

and, they DO *feel* and *play* so

different when you take hem to Beach or

a Park!

 

....

 

 

What about you?

In Christian traditions as well as

in many others...

 

God was represented as LIGHT!

 

and, evil as Darkness!

 

....

 

Why do you think that was?

 

Does how people feel in the sunlight and

when *devoid of it* had something to do

with it?

Arvind,

 

first of all I want to thank you for your continuous posting here...

your positive, authentic and inspiring effort to share what you have

to say.

 

I live in Crete, some call it the " island of light " , because the light

in all its facets is incredible here. I find it interesting though,

how the tradition of the people here does not ignore the dark aspects

of life. The incredibly rich and highly developed traditional poetry

often laments about inner darkness:

 

The wind has extinguished the candle

Which I was holding in my hand

From now on my life is in darkness

At day and night

 

It appears as if the outer presence of light allows to freely express

inner darkness, as it happens again and again to many of us.

 

All the best to you

Stefan

 

P.S. thanks for the brain-links

S. U. N.

 

 

SUN

 

Modern living, with all its symbols, including the

Sun, can then remind us by analogie how vital is the

Spiritual Sun in the Heart of heart.

That is what your mail evokes to me dear Arvind,

Light is indispensable.

What about me? I work at home, and my desk faces french doors that look out

to the garden and the waterfall, streams and fountain that are always running.

In the summer, I open the doors and I feel like I'm in the garden. An hour

never goes by that I don't stop to go outside. I meditate in the garden and I

even sleep there, under the stars with the wind whistling through the

evergreens and once in a while the sound of a train off in the distance. The

raccoons come to play in the garden at night, and the birds usually wake me up

in

the morning. There's no place on Earth I'd rather be.

 

IOW, I agree with you.

Hi Phil,

 

I always considered Oregon as one place I would love to live.

Ever hear or listen to the 70's band called Oregon. Beautiful music.

 

Good night Beloved.
