So you can still get sunburn from the UV-A rays but the UV-B rays that help provide vitamin D are not accessible to you.

If you want to know if you’re getting vitamin D or not it’s very simple: When you’re outside, look at the ground; look at your shadow. If your shadow is not sharp and shorter than you are tall, you are not getting significant amounts of vitamin D.” ― Linda Benskin

Into a long and flowing dress,

That left the scent on everything she touched,

Of nature’s sweet caress,

And she could chase the lonely feeling,

Out of every room,

She could drive out all your sadness,

And cause a frozen heart to thaw,

She’s paint the sky pink every morning,

But nobody ever saw,

No one thought to thank her,

For the warmth upon their skin,

Or for chasing all their demons,

From where the night-time’s breath had been,

So she thought she wasn’t needed,

She could leave and they’d not care,

But they’d taken her for granted,

Since her light was always there,

Because you never thank the ground,

Until you know how it feels to fall,

Or just how much you need the sun,

Until it doesn’t rise at all.” ― E.H

26. “Though I myself am an atheist, I openly profess religion in the sense just mentioned, that is, a nature religion. I hate the idealism that wrenches man out of nature; I am not ashamed of my dependency on nature; I openly confess that the workings of nature affect not only my surface, my skin, my body, but also my core, my innermost being, that the air I breathe in bright weather has a salutary effect not only on my lungs but also on my mind, that the light of the sun illumines not only my eyes but also my spirit and my heart. And I do not, like a Christian, believe that such dependency is contrary to my true being or hope to be delivered from it.

But I find this very natural and am therefore perfectly reconciled to the thought.” ― Ludwig Feuerbach, Lectures on the Essence of Religion

27. “[…] The movement of the celestial bodies can be given as an example. It is not exactly circular, but elliptic; the ellipse constitutes as it were a first “specification” of the circle, by the splitting of the center into two poles or “foci” in the direction of one of the diameters which thereafter plays a special “axial” part, while at the same time all the other diameters are differentiated one from another in respect of their lengths. It may be added incidentally in this connection that, since the planets describe ellipses of which the sun occupies one of the foci, the question arises as to what the other focus corresponds to; as there is nothing corporeal actually there, there must be something belonging only to the subtle order; but that question cannot be further examined here, as it would be quite outside our subject.” ― René Guénon, The Reign of Quantity & the Signs of the Times

I pull aside the thick curtains, and search for the first glow in the sky which shows that life is breaking through. And with my cheek leant upon the window pane I like to fancy that I am pressing as closely as can be upon the massy wall of time, which is for ever lifting and pulling and letting fresh spaces of life in upon us. May it be mine to taste the moment before it has spread itself over the rest of the world!” ― Virginia Woolf, The Complete Shorter Fiction of Virginia Woolf

33. “Go out in the sunlight. Bright sunlight helps boost the production of serotonin. It also improves the release of melatonin, which helps you get a better night’s sleep. So if you’re stuck inside, make an effort to go outside for at least a few minutes in the middle of the day. Go for a walk, listen to some music, or just soak in the sun.” ― Alex Korb, The Upward Spiral: Using Neuroscience to Reverse the Course of Depression, One Small Change at a Time
