The Sun

C.S. Lewis once said that he believes in God as he believes in the sun for by it he is able to see everything else. All I would add to his insightful apologetic is not only is it by the sun that we see everything, but we see everything in its most scintallating splendor. In these few days of the beginning of spring this strengthening sun lightens the scilla and snowdrops and crocus and jasmine. And in the birds: the lightening highlights cardinals in their radiant red, blue jays gone from their winter gray to brilliant blue. And of course the question arises: is the sun originator of itself? Or could there possibly be someone other that lights that candle to which we should give thanks?
