Wanting the warmth of pure sunshine on my skin, feeling the liveliness of the flesh as it tickles the pores of my skin, as the sun pours its comforting baking feeling on my body, through my clothes, onto bare skin.
Rubbing in tanning oil, or olive oil, all over the arms and legs, and torso and face, gently massaging it all deeply into my body. Moistening the skin, moisturizing it, watching it glisten, as it reflects the light coming directly from a sunray with no shade in sight.
Browning the skin, causing it to tan, enriching the color and turning it into a deep golden hue, like frying chicken legs, spitting and spattering on a pan as the oil flies all over, getting the color to change shades, and to look beautiful, not a pale whitish that represents ill health.
A shine to one's face, rosy cheeks that caught a few rays of sunshine, pinching them to get even pinker, a pinkish-red of a healthy color, like after one climbs a mountain and glows from head to toe with the reward of the success of a job well done.
Ein Sof, a Name for God, is all about Divine Light. The light one receives at the beach is this Divine Light and this is why it feels warm and comforting on the skin. All types of light: direct sunlight (i.e. sunlight) and reflective light (i.e. moonlight) are all Divine Light, all examples of how Ein Sof reaches out to us and warms us, lights our paths even in the darkness. It is this same light that is necessary for seeds to grow into plants. When one learns, as such from a parent or teacher, it is said he gets the "light" of knowledge and truth. Parents teaching children gives them a warm taste of this light, of Divine Light. Of Ein Sof. Ein Sof, or Divine Light is a gift from God, from HASHEM, to feel better, to feel His holiness and have His holiness transfer onto us as we become holier because we know and feel Ein Sof on our skins, and deep into our spiritual bodies and souls.
