I wonder when, as a species, we will wake up to this idea that nature is a healer, and looking to us to protect us from all the wildness and deviousness of the human mind.

The sun is not your enemy. Skin cancers are caused for a people who are never in it. The sun is not your enemy. It is not to be feared, it is the thing that has given us life. On today, the 23rd, my best friend’s birthday, I want to recognise its glory and power, especially how it rose up to greet me this morning.
