Heliophobia - the fear of sun

One of life’s greatest lessons can be learned through sunflowers.

Each and every day they follow the sun’s arch through the heavens. Ten thousand yellow faces look to the sun, like children following their mother, young, naive and enamoured. A field of saffron, jonquil and ochre, all looking up with eyes full of wonder, unable to turn away.


But in the end it is that which we love that destroys us. Petals dry and curl, faces turn down, seeds fall like freshly fallen tears upon the earth.
