Amaterasu Omi Kami
( Beauty)
Let me share with you the secret of the mirrow
Let me share what is only known by the Sun Goddess
It is a secret so powerful
It will free you from darkness
A secret so delightful
It lets warmth dance in your heart
A secret so illuminating
It allows you to know yourself
A secret so simple
All you need do is open your eyes
The secret is
In the light of the sun
In the eyes of the mirrow
You are beauty.
Amaterasu ( pronounced a-ma-te-ra-tsoo )Omi Kami, is the Shinto Sun
Goddess of Japan. When insulted by her crude brother,Susano-o, the Storm God,
she withdrew into a cave and refused to come out. Distressed by the withdrawal
of the Sun. Uzume the Sharman Goddess, did a comical bawdy dancce to entertain
the Gods and Goddesses and to provoke Amaterasu's curiosity. When Amaterasu
opened her door to peek, she was dazzled by her own beauty, reflected to her in
a mirrow the Gods and Goddesses had installed, and came out.
