Stellar Generosity

I rediscovered this gem in Pronoia (by Rob Brezny) tonight:

Sacred Genius of Generosity

“The Sun, each second, transforms four million tons of itself into light, giving itself over to become energy that we, with every meal, partake of. For four million years, humans have been feasting on the Sun's energy stored in the form of wheat or reindeer, as each day the Sun dies as Sun and is reborn as the vitality of Earth. Every child of ours needs to learn the simple truth: She is the energy of the Sun. And we adults should organize things so her face shines with the same radiant joy.

Human generosity is possible only because at the center of the solar system a magnificent stellar generosity pours forth free energy day and night without stop and without complaint and without hesitation. This is the way of the Universe. This is the way of life. And this is the way in which each of us joins this cosmological lineage when we accept the Sun’s gifts of energy and transform it into creative action that will eneable the community to flourish.”~Brian Swimme, The Hidden Heart of the Cosmos
