Is It True The Sun Is Indifferent

Is it true what some say, the Sun doesn't care?
Does it withdraw when you reject it,
or is it somehow sensitive to being liked,
or believed-in, or even addressed?
Are you left in the cold, the dark, bereft,
on its account – or your sins? ...Hello?

Or doesn't the Sun rather give unwaveringly,
indifferent to fatuous flattery or flatulence and dissing,
indifferent to belief or doubt, worship or rejection,
indifferent to all, warming the Earth
and keeping us turning? Warming and giving light,
without which we couldn't stand on two feet,
spread our arms to thank it or flip it the bird.

The Sun gives of its presence because it is present,
indeed indifferent – but that, toward our indifference;
it tells us, “I'm just one of many, some far larger –
insignificant, sure - but for you I'm here, burning.
I didn't set this all in motion, does it matter: but
I'm here and burning: take it.“

So it is with love.
Like the sun we are where we are for a purpose,
there are those who truly need us to be right there.
It is not for us to underestimate our value,
but to become indifferent toward nagging doubts.
Two kinds of wrong thinking are known to us:
thinking much of yourself and your importance –
and thinking too little, judging, dissing.

Both are from want of self-reflection, and irresponsible.
Be where you are and honor this, fill it with your warmth,
give us your presence where you are, be that Sun – be it!
Indifferent and radiating, warming this Earth, waking joy.
As it is with love.
