A sun pours forth light to nourish and guide its orbiting planets. These worlds in turn have orbiting moons, each nourished and guided by its anchoring world. Life on a planet draws from its sun just like a child from a parent, and gives to its moon just like a parent to a child. The sun pushes forth and gives to the world, as the moon pulls in and receives from the world. Thus a world breathes: receiving what its sun exhales and giving what its moon inhales... Sun and moon, father and daughter! Father stood above me, fed me, guided me. Baby daughter giggles and squirms below me: calling me in my turn to feed and guide her. From my father I have received and to my daughter I shall give, as all my world receives from the sun and gives to the moon... So who then I am? I am mother and father, son and daughter. I am great grandparents and great grandchildren. I am that which is central and mighty, and that which is peripheral and tiny, and all that is in between... I am this and that. I am him and her. I am me and you. I am them and us. I am consciousness: creating and receiving all that is. I am your God, your self, your world, your sun and moon.
