Inspirations from the Sun

I have recently fallen in love with sunsets. I love observing things around me but it never occurred to me that the Sun could be so inspirational. Sitting at end of lake; listening to songs and looking at sunset is what I describe as my new version of solitude. I don’t know how many of you have seen a sunset and have got the chance to observe it on different days. There are so many things that you can learn only by looking at it.

When it appears, it makes everything bright around you, it make water shine, earth glow & metals reflect. And when it disappears, everything appears dark, gloomy and a mere reflection of its real self.

On a sunny day, it seems it will never fade away; it is so bold, adamant yet brilliant that you are almost sure that nothing can move it. But no matter who you are, you have to abide by the forces of nature.

On a cloudy day, 100’s of clouds try to hide the sun behind them but you will still see shades of the yellow & orange telling you it is still there and will only go when it is time. Even if it is behind others, you can’t hide its luminosity, its power & the effect it has on others.

On a rainy day, if the sun is not taking a break, and is in a mood to have fun, it can create innumerous rainbows in the sky and show you the combination of 2 opposite elements. It shows you that you don’t need to get along with everyone and yet do wonderful things with them.

But sometimes, I get really worried about the other side of its personality. The sun is magnificent, strong, impressive and impactful. It has all the power in the world. It is on the top and no one can reach him. But he is all alone. He can never be with anyone. And he has to live with this truth. All that power & beauty, yet there is no one to share it with. When I think about the rat race that we participate in every day, it makes me wonder; maybe we should remember both facets of being the sun. And decide on what do we really want?
