Surprises #1 The Sun

"WHAT IF  . . ."

"Every second the sun converts 657 million tons of hydrogen into 653 million tons of helium by a process called nuclear fusion. The missing 4 tons of mass are converted into energy and hurled into space as heat and light. The earth intercepts only about 1 two-billionth of this energy. About 4 pounds worth of energy every second is the difference between day and night, winter and summer, life or death."

I'm thinking about this. In any given spot . . . like the one where I sit or wherever you are . . . about a millionth of an ounce of the sun's mass falls every second.  That darned sun doesn't care if I'm worthy of its gift. It just gives. That's the nature of the thing. Whewwww, lucky me. Lucky you. I'm thinking. What ifffff . . .what if each of us flung off our light and warmth in such a carefree manner? Generously. Unjudgmentally. Automatically.  Making a difference . . .
