When The Sun Has Set, No Candle Can Replace It ( Quote by George R.R. Martin )

in #sun7 years ago (edited)

The sun is the most precious gold to be found on earth but the strength of the sun is within us. It was a romantic "coming home" moment of freedom after leaving Bali! 

Sunsets are the happy illusions of our Mother Nature and "There is a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they're absolutely free. Don't miss so many of them.” - Jo Walton

For each comment I will post a sunset photo or a quote for you!

“Even 

After 

All this time

The Sun never says to the Earth,

"You owe me."

Look

What happens

With a love like that,

It lights the whole sky.” 

― Hafiz 

I posted this image on instagram, exactly one year ago " OMG! This is one of those sunsets in Austria with Radiohead's   "Lotus Flower" in my mind......

I have so many images from the most incredible sunset & rises in Indonesia but today I show you what I found on my first trip back to my country, one day of my past 3 years travels, I named " Der Weg ist das Ziel". 

 

Surya (also known as Aditya) is the Hindu God of the Sun. 

He is considered the creator of the universe and the source of all life. He is the supreme soul who brings light and warmth to the world. A solar deity (also sun god or sun goddess) is a sky deity who represents the Sun, or an aspect of it, usually by its perceived power and strength. Solar deities and sun worship can be found throughout most of recorded history in various forms. - Source 

The Sun, or Surya in Sanskrit, is responsible for giving light and energy so that all things can grow and prosper. In Jyotish, the Sun represents father and masculine energy. His attributes are like the king and he shares rank and position, power and authority, as well as respect and ruler-ship. The Sun will give us our dharma, the proper path to follow for our enlightenment. Traditionally, the father is supposed to help guide the child on their path of dharma. It is the father who is responsible for instilling self-esteem and ultimately gives the spark of life via his sperm.- Source
  
Gayatri Mantra : We meditate on the glory of the Creator;
Who has created the Universe;
Who is worthy of Worship;
Who is the embodiment of Knowledge and Light;
Who is the remover of Sin and Ignorance;
May He open our hearts and enlighten our Intellect. 

May 5th,2016 Vitis,Waldviertel, Austria

I was riding towards my little home village Gmuend in Lower Austria, which I didn't visit for such a long time and couldn't believe what breathtaking sunset guided my way, back to my birthplace, where I spent most of my childhood school holidays at my Grandparents sweet little house. 

The Sun is responsible for illuminating the moon and all other planets.

There's an empty space inside my heart and all I want is a the sun and the moon on a stick:)

Lotus Flower Lyrics

There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
And now I'll set you free
I'll set you free
There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the weeds take root
So now I'll set you free
I'll set you free

Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flowers
'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what if
Just to see what is
I can't kick your habit
Just to fill your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart by
Radiohead

Nice shots and beautiful post. I like to do surya namaskar singing the mantra:
"Om Hram Mitraya Namah
Om Hrim Ravaye Namah
Om Hroum Suryaya Namah
Om Hraïm Bhanave Namah
Om Hraoum Khagaya Namah
Om Hra(haha) Pushne Namah
Om Hram Hiranyagarbhaya Namah
Om Hrim Marichaye Namah
Om Hroum Adityaya Namah
Om Hraïm Savitre Namah
Om Hraoum Arkaya Namah
Om Hra(ha) Bhaskaraya Namah"

For me it brings a lot of calmness into my flow to first come to position, then sing in position, then continue.

And we are all atoms from the sun :)

Cool you found your way here to the sunshine place steemit 😂🌼

As the sun and each atom of ether is a shphere complete in itself, yet at the same time only a part of a whole too vast for man to comprehend, so each individual bears within himself his own purpose, yet bears it ot serve a general purpose unfathomable to man.
Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

The Sun is the source of Light. Light in Hindi means Prakash. Thats my name..Follow me Mamma 😂 @mammasitta

Nice name .....Sun = Surya
Indonesian light :

Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows.
Helen Keller

Sun is free indeed; Even the sun within us; We just have to find it and once found hold it will all the strength we can find in yourself; Letting the sun within us slip away, we need to start searching again.

Wow," Thalia muttered. "Apollo is hot."
"He's the sun god," I said.
"That's not what I meant.
Rick Riordan, The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #3)

I am searching for that Sun God where ever I go ☺️🌞🌞💥
