Being fair skinned, the sun and I hold a love/hate relationship. Never do I feel comfortable entering into direct sunlight without sunscreen, I become worried, overwhelmed, filled with racing thoughts; anything but present where I am. Once the sunscreen is applied, I am able to settle in and enjoy my place and moment, so… don’t forget your sunscreen.
The sun and I hold a comedic love/hate relationship. I love the sun, but the sun doesn’t seem to love me easily. Every time I see the sun peaking through the clouds or present on a blue sky day, I immediately am mixed with worry and joy. I want to go run outside, but I never feel comfortable entering into direct sunlight. I become worried, overwhelmed, filled with racing thoughts about sunburn and skin cancer; making me anything but present where I am. Because I will get, and have had my fair skin get toasted by the giant orb in the sky. Sunscreen has become a wonderful friend of mine. A staple in my life. Once the sunscreen is applied, I am able to settle in, breathe, and enjoy my place and moment. So…don’t forget to put on some sunscreen.
The distortion of the sun filled beach setting depicts my raw worry without the sunscreen. Once the sunscreen bottle is picked up, the scene turns to calm, peace, and present intention.
