“Is the sun a noun or a verb?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, a noun is an object and a verb is activity. So, for example, you could say a wall at least in terms of ordinary life and what is available to perception, is simply an object and there is no activity going on. So therefore it is a noun rather than a verb. But with the sun, it’s all activity, united of course within a, let’s say, dynamic form, but at no moment is there ever form without all the activity. So its prime nature is much more in all the incredible activity rather than in any way being an object that could be said to exist apart from the activity. So, not that it probably matters, but it seems to me the sun is more a verb than a noun. And maybe we could even think about ourselves in relation to this lens also.”
