Thought

But the whole point about biology is that the earliest forms of life, mainly plants, were related to the light of the sun. All life on Earth is dependent not on merely terrestrial events, but on our relation to the sun and the wider cosmic environment. Even carbon and the other chemical elements on which biological life depends is fallout from exploding starts. Biology on Earth is rooted in a much larger ecology. I don’t think the evolution of life on Earth can be regarded as merely terrestrial, merely biological in that sense. Every human culture has recognised the importance of celestial influences of one kind or another: the sun, the moon, the planets, the stars, the sky. Influences from outside the Earth are working on us all the time. The transcendental object may be located or channeled through the sun, other stars, planets or constellations: something to do with the astronomical environment.

– Rupert Sheldrake, The Evolutionary Mind

Quote

Picasso on the transformative power of creation: 

“There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into sun.”
