The globes of the day and night have had many stories told of them. They have been worshipped, despised, misunderstood but perhaps most of all they have shaped the visions of those they shed light upon.
The Sun and the Moon are often set at odds. But Nature does not work in opposition to itself. Both the Sun and the Moon were necessary in the formation of our home.
The Sun is brazen and proud. Its light is blinding and its heat can kill. It overpowers darkness and will not abide the light of the stars or the moon. Our world craves both it's light and heat. Our plants grow towards it and our animals frolick by it.
The Moon is soft and fickle. It will hide from us but its effects are always felt. It dos not banish the darkness or silence the stars. It will let the secret things of this world remain hidden.
The Children of the Sun see its light as nurturing. They have used its strength to cultivate the land. They praise the light for destroying the darkness. To them the unknown is to be feared.
The Children of the Moon miss the darkness. To them the unknown is the great driving force that makes life interesting. They know that life is not limited to one sphere; that there are many stars and each has its place.
As I said, Nature is not in opposition. The Children of the Moon and the Children of the Sun live together now although they did not always do so. They need one another. The land nust be cultivated and the wolves kept at bay. The unknown must be explored. The explorers must have somewhere to return to.
Very lovely...and well understanding of the complexities of the Sun and Moon's relationship. Duality.
