An Ode to the Day

The dawn splits open the shell of darkness, illuminating the heavens with golden light. The Sun has risen. In those early moments, the world is still quiet, its senses awakening slowly with the brightening sky. And just as slowly, all our senses-smell, taste, touch, sound, and sight-are heightened, brought back to life by the Sun's gilded rays. The atmosphere transforms with luminosity, warmth, and lightness, washing away the sediments of the just- departed darkness.

The masculine Sun with its expansive power that moves outwards, far and wide. This golden orb pushes us to mimic its blinding light. The expansive energy of El Sol controls the physical world, its awake mind and conscious actions. In all its power and potency, the Sun brings your attention to the tangible present, maximizing the here and now. While Time runs on like sand through your fingers, the Sun reminds us, strong warriors all, to never stop-to embrace our fiery side, to reach out with both hands and to grab the moment.
