A Celebration Of The Sun: Gratitude For Our Great Star Above

<p>Thomas Traherne (1636-74) was an English poet, writer, theologian, and Anglican cleric to whom I was recently introduced.</p><p><br></p><p>His only extant work, <em>Centuries</em> <em>of Meditations</em>, completely swept me away. It’s a short but powerful book with which you should spend an afternoon. </p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, we’ll focus on a couple of passages from Traherne’s <em>Meditations</em>. In them, he lists the countless gifts that the sun bestows upon us every single day–of which we’re almost always unmindful, and for which we’re hardly ever grateful. </p><p><br></p><p>You can use this episode to think about and appreciate nature or, if drowsy, to help you fall asleep. </p><p><br></p><p>Please give this channel a 5-star rating.
