The Sun Will Rise Tomorrow

I was running to catch the sunrise that I thought would raise my soul and it flashed before me …the sun would rise tomorrow too.  If I missed it there would be another time.  Having learned from many masters, I knew in my heart that I could raise my soul in many ways.  I could let go of needing to see it now and relax into the now instead. 

I did make it in time.  I caught this gorgeous light and let it soothe my soul, but it was probably more from my realization that I didn’t have to run anymore.  My frenzied neediness was comforted and began to reorganize and so that I could remember who I was. 

Life ebbs and flows.  Just when Ebb seems to be overtaking, Flow returns to calm us.  Disappointments, things not seeming to live up to plans, failure feelings creeping in.  Holidays ending, with it their moments of overwhelm, like children growing up. We miss them all the more.

Darkness and light are part of everything.  Each day we see the sun and the moon.  There must be the quiet night before the brilliant day of light.  And, if we miss one sunrise, there will be another chance.  There always is.
