SpongeBob the Sunshine Philosopher

The bright moon knows that the sun does shine down on all of us with delight.

In the opening lines of the Auguries of Innocence, William Blake bellowed out, “To see a World in a Grain of Sand, And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand, And Eternity in an hour…”

Sponge Bob echoed that exact same topics and sentiments in his song The Best Day Ever with “Every flower, every grain of sand, Is reaching out to shake my hand, It's the best day ever…”

Blake later declares, “If the Sun & Moon should Doubt, Theyd immediately Go out.”

SpongeBob illuminates this optimism with “Sometimes the little things, Start closing in on me, When I'm feeling down, I wanna lose that frown, I stick my head out the window, And I look around, Those clouds don't scare me, They can't disguise, This magic that's happening, Right before my eyes, Soon Mr. Moon will be shining bright, So the best day ever can last all night.”

Our inner lights can shine the smiles amongst sun and moon and you.

Multitudes of sand make worlds, wild flowers beam toward heavens and hands can hold minds open.
