Sun Dial



?Sun dial is a clever use of the sun by means of tracking time. My limited knowledge of this leaves me simply presumptuous. As the way of the world as we know it, the earth, the sun, and the moon are rhythmically constant. As sure as the sun sets, the moon takes its many forms as the earth keeps spinning and rotating. We become accustomed to the consistency of our universe and we base our concept of time off the luxury of the circle of life that cycles by seconds, that turn into minutes, that hours add up to form days and months turn into years as we age with the passing time.

Galaxies are too many to count and the ignorance of that enormity is to feel as if we are the most important creatures to exist as we feel that our home Earth is so special to stand alone as the only planet with the illustrious ability to house life forms that we know so much about, yet we understand so little. Limitations are the invisible boundaries that house us prisoner to the plague of peer pressure. Forced to conform to the picture perfect imbeciles that have fancy little beliefs of what we are supposed to be and govern our morals with closed minds that leave the childhood dreams crushed before the very eyes of the child that is now told to be a man. This man is what they tell us to be. A choice is given to the chosen few who take the leap of blind faith towards imaginary worlds that are dreamed up by creation. Who created this? What is this?

Everything is this. You are everything. You can create. You in fact are a creation yourself that an image quite like the one you yourself portray was created in the image of this creator. Asking the questions of who created this wouldn’t do justice to the definition of what this truly is. Who we need to be more like and it would tend to be more geared towards an image of yourself. You see; we resemble the image of creation itself. We have been born with an immeasurable gift of consciousness and power that we do not know of its totality. Potential is within us all and we all are much more capable than we give ourselves credit.

Mary had a little lamb. A cow jumped over the moon. Rudolf is a red nosed reindeer. Three little pigs make houses. These are the ideas that we have a name for. That name is fiction. It's a fact that once in a while we all make believe. A simply fictional story can create. Creation doesn’t need to be considered as good or bad; it simply is. It is possible to create. You are unique. Your creator made sure of that when your image was sculpted. You are simply an idea, a brilliant idea that is gifted with the power to create your own self image. You have choices and society dictates your morals with judgments that can be both positive and negative. The difference is paper thin as the opinion of individuals varies.

Inside you possess a good you. It's a guarantee. This good can become great. However, this good can be polluted and bad is evident in the nay Sayers. It's not as simple as we would hope but we should hope that we are not that simple minded ourselves. Complex is man. Man is a complex. We house a soul inside a body that is made up of the very fabric of our entire existence. Man is simple. We must eat food and drink water. We must breathe air and take care of ourselves. Man is simple. The complexity lies in the morality that defines our being and molds our character.

We are the earth that needs the sun and the moon that takes its many forms. Man is made up of the universe that is made upof man. The universe is our creator. Our creation is the universe. Nature is to live in harmony with all the elements of the universe. To go against your fellow man is to fight the natural balance of life. You are the man you treat as your friends. The earth is in you and when you harm the earth you are doing harm to yourself. The natural balance of life is defined by the very existence of everything. The answers are simple to find when you realize that you have been born with the ability to develop mentally more than we may never know.

Hope is in the man. Man is hope. The Earth is the evidence that there is a power greater than we need to comprehend. The sun is the source of all energy. The moon changes to remind us of the time. Man is the gift of creation. Dreams are the miracles of the future. A man tells time thanks to the consistency of the universe; created by only to create. Life is about creation. Creation is the ultimate gift that we all have the ability to achieve. They say live the dream. I say I'm dreaming to live. The truth is that this life is but a dream that a creator once had. Dreams do come true and the miracle is life itself. I'm feeling creative. The societal limits are shields to protect us from disappointment. Do not view this as a bad thing. It simply is and will always be part of this life we all live in. Just know that there is hope for us all when we believe in the dreams that seem too good to be true. You are a dream and I would be willing to say that you're too good to be true. Somehow you are. And you truly are a dream come true!
