Birds sing

"Birds sing after a storm. Why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them?"

~Rose Kennedy

Live

“Live in the sunshine,
swim the sea,
drink the wild air…”

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

If

If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt,
they'd immediately go out.

~William Blake

When it comes right down to it

When it comes right down to it, all you have is your Self. Your Self is a sun with a thousand rays.

~Pablo Picasso

I'm looking over

I'm looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before
One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain,
Third is the roses that grow in the lane.
No need explaining the one remaining
Is somebody I adore.
I'm looking over a four leaf clover
That I overlooked before.

~an old Irish Song

Buttercups in the sunshine

Buttercups in the sunshine look like little cups of gold.
Perhaps the Faeries come to drink the raindrops that they hold.

~Elizabeth T. Dillingham, "A Faery Song"

Far away there in the sunshine

"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead."

~Louisa May Alcott

The sun

The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises.

~Ecclesiastes 1:5“

We choose

We choose the god-like splendor
Of the best-beloved Sun
To inspire us;
May the shining Sun
Brighten your life!

~The Ramayana

I

I, the fiery life of divine wisdom, I ignite the beauty of the plains, I sparkle the waters, I burn in the sun, and the moon, and the stars.

~Hildegard of Bingen

Give me

Give me the silent sun with all his beams full-dazzling.

~Walt Whitman

To love

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

~David Viscott

Even after

Even after all this time,

the Sun never says to Earth,

"You owe me."

Look what happens with a love like that...

It lights up the whole sky.

~Hafiz

A day without

A day without sunshine is like . . . night.

~Steven Wright
