“The Sun, with all the planets revolving around it, and depending on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as though it had nothing else in the Universe to do.”
~ Galileo Galilei (1564-1642). Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher.

To think how much energy from that sun could be captured to provide unlimited energy to the world.
Yes, and to think of the vastness of the energy that the sun provides. Incredible.
Fabulous quote and image, David! Whenever I catch myself basking in the sun’s warmth, I marvel at the fact that something so powerful can be so gentle and so particular to an individual–it’s amazing and also comforting….
Yes, Lori. It is all of what you describe. Miracle.
I’d like to see the sun.
We are fortunate this morning. Beautiful day is Sun is up.
Just a wondrous miracle..it’s grassing the trees and the buds are beginning to swell…
Yes, it all is wondrous…
I’m going right out to catch a few rays.
Good for you Anneli
Walked in the sunshine this morning…..feel energized fit the day.
Yes, me too
We’ve inherited grape vines in a greenhouse on our new allotment. The fruit is meant to be the same colour as the ones in your picture. Can’t wait.
Wow, be sure to post your pictures…
Yes, I promise to post some grape pictures, immediately the fruit arrives, but it’s a long way off. We’ve snow again today, poor daffodils D:
Snow, wow. We can wait for the shots! 🙂
Your mind spins when you try to figure it all out…but I am glad that the grapes get ripened coming from Sonoma County where we love our wine making 🙂
You are certainly blessed to be in the neighborhood….
Yes, and I know it and am thankful everyday!
[…] Reverence for the sun. […]
Not sure where to post this, really – but am nominating you for a Sunshine Award…love your blog. Please see the page “A Really Cool Thing” at 365guitars.wordpress.com – and thanks for the great content!
