So beautiful you are Inti-Sun-Sol. Painting the canvas of my life with bright colors and pure light. Your stillness aids me to quit the aching from the memories and the mind. I am aware of your light for its essence and beyond without attaching any label to it anymore. I now see your light like no other time before. I feel your light. O, shine upon me! Cover me in your pure light, Sol And become one. Here, Still, Now. I Am Your Light. I Am Light. I Am Now. I Am.
