Self-Existent Light

"Let there be Light!" and so there was... Without the Sun? How so? Because Our Father unfurled-- the Light of the world The Sun and the Moon --He created... soon-- but Light "self-existed"-- before Sun rays enlisted! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :-D (See Genesis 1, and John 1) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ May 27, 2023 Self-existent light Poetry Contest! Deadline: Monday, June 26, 2023 Sponsored by- Unseeking Seeker

Great thought ! There was light even before the moon and sun were created as there was self existent light. Congratulations on your win Michelle.

Thanks Valsa! :) As St. Augustine wrote, "...question the order of the stars, the sun whose brightness lights the days, the moon whose splendor softens the gloom of night;...They will answer you: 'Behold and see, we are beautiful.' Their beauty is their confession of God. Who made these beautiful changing things, if not one who is beautiful and changeth not?' Amen."
