thanks for the reply, it makes sense.
I caught the sun today at work about 20 minutes before it set. I tried to look at it directly and met with some resistance. A reflex action perhaps to the initial glare. Then something wonderful happened. The glare dissipated and all that was left was a spinning ball of gold light with the brilliance of it's halo.
I wasn't sure what was going on at first, couldn't comprehend why it didn't hurt. i made a mental check on the condition of my eyes to see if they were ok whilst i fixed my gaze. I had to turn and continue my job after about 15 seconds but they were 15 seconds of bliss.
As i carried on about my business i felt a happiness and deep connection to something wonderful swelling inside me.. There was no after burn image and only a slight haze of gold for a few fleeting moments.
That direct contact gave me a fix for maybe 3 hours at work until the happiness subsided.
I am now officially a sun worshiper of the first and last hour at every chance i can get.
Thank you
Ian
