EVER PRESENT SUN

     Even when the sun is blocked by clouds, it's still there, behind them. The warmth, the light, and the comfort of the sun is ever-present, but sometimes we can't see it, and we can't feel it, and begin to doubt it's there at all. We are experiencing hail and wind, or snow, or rain, or thick cloudiness.
     But the muck always clears eventually, and the sun bursts forth yet again, cheerful as ever, smiling, and shining bright. We welcome it gladly, but don't always recognize that it was there all along- blocked- but present nonetheless, and giving us energy and daylight all the same.

Even when it's stormy, I remember that the sun is there behind the clouds.
