Reflecting on May Day: Sun worship has been part of a wide variety of traditions and cultures for millennia. This glowing sphere of hot gas is the bestower of light and life to planet Earth. Its unblinking eye has been associated with justice, wisdom, illumination and enlightenment. Science is now demonstrating that it is also a protector from disease. With a love like that, it lights the whole sky! – Jeff Krasnos in Commusings.
