The sun (太陽) is the closest star to the Earth.
It descends upon us with a sense of vastness that governs the universe, appearing warm and gentle, yet at times extending outward with a sharpness like shards of glass, piercing and intense. The sun also hovers around us as a powerful force that seems capable of melting all things, while simultaneously taking on the presence of a watcher that observes without distinction between day and night.
I imagine that there could be two suns in the sky. A sun composed of stars, at the moment of its extinction, generates another sun, drawing up the Earth’s water and all things into a spherical form through its gravitational force.
