Today I am watching the sunset.
As I watch it,
I realize how fast the sun goes down,
How fast its light disappears in the sky behind the mountains.
As it goes,
I smile and I say,
See you tomorrow.
I say this because I am sure it will come back tomorrow,
And I am sure because since I'm on earth in this lifetime,
Not a single day passed in which the sun didn't come back.
And so I expect it to come.
And I don't even question if it will happen.
I just know it.
It is only a matter of time,
And if tomorrow the sky is so cloudy that I can't see it,
I won't look for it,
Wondering where it is.
I know it is there.
I just can't see it.
Just like the sun that hides behind the clouds,
There are so many things that we can't see right now.
Maybe we are worried about our health,
Our career,
Our finances,
Our friend,
Our love life,
Our family,
Ourselves.
Maybe we are struggling in finding solutions to some specific problems.
While we are facing these challenges,
We can't see the light,
We can only see the darkness.
Because of that,
We don't even believe that the light will come back,
Because it's too cloudy right now.
But what if I tell you that just like the sun,
The light will come back,
Because just like the sun,
The light always comes back.
Whatever situation is cloudy right now,
Know that the light is coming towards you,
Because it always does.
Sometimes everything has to be really dark,
So that we can see the light.
Maybe if it didn't get so dark,
We wouldn't notice or appreciate the light so much.
It is like a sunny day.
While it is sunny,
We may not even notice how great it is to have such an intense light directly into our skin.
But if all of a sudden a cloud covers the sun,
Then we notice,
Right?
Suddenly it gets cold and dark and uncomfortable.
We miss the sun,
Because we don't like the experience of not having it.
It is the same with the light.
We miss it,
Because we don't like the experience of not having it.
Back to the sunny day,
If we watch the cloud passing by in front of the sun,
It seems as if it takes ages to completely uncover it.
But if we focus on something else,
Suddenly we realize that the sun was already uncovered for a while and we didn't even notice.
It is the same with dark and light.
Later or later,
The light comes back,
Because we release control.
We go to sleep,
Or we meditate,
Or we distract ourselves from the problem.
We switch our focus of attention and there it is,
The light again.
So today,
Whatever situation you are facing,
Whatever challenge you are going through,
Be sure that you are about to see the light,
You are.
And when you do,
Be grateful,
Be happy,
Be free,
Knowing that from now on you will no longer doubt,
Because you know that the light always,
Always comes back.
It is only a matter of time.
