The lyrics to John Denver's song conjures up a number of thoughts. The sun that supports life on Earth is for better or for worse. But most of all, it enlightens the world.
Dear Ones,
Immediately I think of the most positive thinking, such as the sun shining on ocean waves along warm sunny beaches. And sunshine in flower gardens, water fountains and on birds in flight.
Picasso once said, "Anything cast in the light of the sun, even a dead rat, is beautiful."
Then there are sunshine laws that are transparent in disclosing clandestine behavior. What brings about the secretive HAARP militant organization in Alaska. Is it still using electro-magnetism in manipulating climate change and causing the sun to be overcast with rain and thunder clouds altering nature's seasons?
Also, a known fact is whenever Earth in its orbit gets closest to the sun, earthquakes and volcano activity increase. Earth, for centuries in endless hot explosive wars increasing in power through more lethal weapons and ammunition makes Earth close-up hotter. This in turn causes radical weather and global heat that provokes earthquakes, tsunomies and volcano eruptions.
Man's industrial corporate military violence and terrorism through nations threatening with stockpiles of nuclear weapons (meaning they'll use them against humanity) and testing over the years adds up. This accumulation multiplies nature's disasters causing Earth to even change its position on its axis.
