The Creation of the Sun

The Creation of the Sun

This is a story we love, and have worked on twice before. Each time we work on the story, it is quite different. In this quilt, the wise old woman is huge and powerful, and the sleeping sun is almost made of darkness. But his heart has a burning centre. The Old Woman has commanded the children to throw him up into the sky, so he can shine for the whole world. Each child also has a spark of fire in his hands or heart, because children represent new life.. The creation of the sun is about the wakening of consciousness in humanity.
