Sunshine

Sunshine illuminates. Sunshine warms. Sunshine shimmers, dappling beauty bestows sparkling water jewels. Sunshine dances within the silver maple trees - look - notice - the flawless, perfect beauty of the breathtaking ballet of the sun, trees, leaves, wind, birds, winged insects; it is life, a glimpse of divinity, fleeting, only a reflection of divine perfection, but this gift of momentary breathtaking beauty inspires hope and nurtures life. Sunshine rules by divine right, brought into being by God to provide warmth and light to the cradle of life on earth, an elemental force respected by the living - for any lack of proper, humble submission to Sunshine, absolute ruler of light, warmth, and essential element of life - brings death.
Sunshine burns, kills, scorches; searing, unrelenting heat calls forth dread, and fear, hunger, and suffering come to visit. In the shadows there lurks an element of random fate which sometimes strikes down souls, shattering them, breaking them. For those souls unfortunate enough to have been forced to face their breaking point, Sadness is a heavy burden laid upon them which they did not choose and had not sought. Fundamentally, each living soul chooses which inspiration to seek: hope and beauty, from which love and joy naturally flow; or, fear and suffering, from which flow sadness and horror. Sunshine or Shadows.
