For you Buber fans, I had an ich-Du (I-thou) moment this morning, when for some reason I can't fully explain, I felt really glad about our Sun. It does its job every day without complaint (well, it does flare up now and then), under conditions that most of us would find unacceptable or at least uncomfortable.

I was thinking how dark our corner of the galaxy would be without the Sun, and I was very glad it decided to continue its existence today.

I thought about all the people who have felt its radiance, and how connected we all are because of our local star.

If you haven't been outside much today, I highly recommend experiencing the Sun (but be sure to apply suncreen)
