I remember the first time I realized that you could poke a hole in a piece of paper and that the image of the eclipsing sun would shine through onto another paper held below. Freaked me out!And then to realize you could poke a multitude of holes in the paper and every one would project a perfect image of what the sun was doing at the time. There was something of Divinity in it. That one main ball of Light, projecting itself a million times in it's entirety. And then to realize that this was always happening...that EVERY little squeek of sunight that passed through ANYwhere was projecting the totality of it's source. Just like us. Just like me. Just like everything.
They say that creation was an act of God fragmenting Itself into all that is, in order that It might know Itself. Perhaps that is so. Perhaps we are a zillion little suns, dancing on an early Fall afternoon. Fragments, and yet NOT. Rather, totally complete, totally Light, totally Divine.

It was taken in Germany yesterday during the solar eclipse and shows a multitude of solar projections that made their way through the trees and onto the ground.
