Finally! I can look out the window of my office and see heavy clouds, hear the rain falling with a soft and quiet hush, and be able to open my windows and let in some refreshingly, cool air. The heat and humidity were suffocating over the past weeks. The pollution indexes were off the charts. What a relief this is. We’ve been in a near drought condition here for weeks. It’s almost as dark as night this morning. At times when it’s so dark, I almost forget that the sun is shining in all its glory above the clouds, even though I can’t see it.

Does it ever happen to you that when it’s gloomy and dark you tend to lose sight of the fact that the sunlight is there? It sure can happen — especially if it’s been cloudy for several days in a row. It’s surprising, but when those times are upon us — those times when it seems like nothing is right — that bringing out thoughts of the sun can help tremendously.

When you think of the sun’s warmth — when you imagine it’s glowing rays shining brightly into your day, you’ll find that your thoughts will get brighter. It’s good to remember that the sun is always shining. Even if, like this morning here in Ohio, it’s not visible. Even when it’s nighttime here, the sun is still shining not too far away and it will be back — shining as bright as ever tomorrow.

It’s the same with life, isn’t it? Even if life feels like it’s at a standstill, often all we have to do is wait and have faith that the time will come when we’re moving along again and things are just as they should be. Better yet, we could be more like the sun and continue to shine our own light even if we can’t see the results of doing so. The light that’s in all of us is, like the sun, is never extinguished.

That’s right. As we talked about last week, there is a light in all of us that never goes out, no matter what is happening around us. We all know that the sun is always shining and will continue to do so for many more millenniums. This should be true for us as well. Even when times are hard it can help to not lose sight of the fact that we have our own light. Just like the sun, our light is the energy that connects us to the movements of the universe and the cycles in our lives and in the lives of all living things. It’s always there, even when there are times when we may not be aware of its glow.

And, as I always say in closing — remember these words …

You are special — and you are loved. You are the greatest gift you can be.

Shanti … (A sanscrit word meaning, “Let there be Peace. Peace, beautiful Peace. Peace within, Peace without. Peace in this world. Peace for all beings.”)
