Oblivion of moon (in physis)

As the earth rotates around the sun, the fire that sustains all beings - that has brought them into their being - shines forth the appearance of Being: the sun is what opens a space for a clearing to have occurred, to have arisen. The undifferenciated differenciating cannot have preceeded its ground, the earth, or the ground's source, the sun, for although the two must be distinguished by physis, man is needed not only to recognize but also to enact the very appearing of that which appears, for without someone for appearing to appear to, there is never any thing so called (appearing).

The sun reveals the earth as earth, concealed as concealed, and is this revealing. Beings wander in the light of the sun, yet only for half of the day.

The other half of the day would be black were it not for our nightlight, the tide changer, the moon. In the dark the concealed comes to the fore. Yet is only seen as concealed due to the m
