The Sun cannot give up! But Humans can.

The Sun is one of God’s greatest gift to humanity.

Waiting for the Sun to rise on Tuesday, I noticed it peeked out first from through the Stratus clouds behind Wareika Hills. I guess to see what was in its path and figure out what kind of day it would be. Scanning around, it was foggy and overcast. I had to wait a long time to see its light because the clouds dominated the sky.

I realized that the Sun would have to fight for its place this morning.

Humans’ and animal’s lives are not much different. From birth, there is a fight for life.
The clouds were blocking the Sun’s path to rise and awake the earth. The birds were already out, scouring the sea for a meal. Fishermen were coming in, as their customers were waiting impatiently.
I stood on the shore and witnessed the Sun struggles to rise, fighting the clouds.

I waited until it achieves its victory.

In life, humans and animals face many obstacles, and that’s a part of life and living.
