A view from my veranda this morning |
It’s a
beautiful Monday morning. The beginning
of another working week. I stood outside
my house looking at the eastern sky where the morning sun was struggling to
shine through the clouds.
Clouds make
the sun more beautiful, more desirable.
What is the sky without both the sun and the clouds?
What is life
without both joys and sorrows? Without
the positive and the negative?
It’s Monday
morning and I should like to start the week with all the cheer I can
muster. The morning sky, however, warns
me that cheer alone cannot make up life.
What would Shakespeare’s Othello
be without Iago? Imagine Milton’s Paradise Lost without Satan.
Who doesn’t
want to be positive, cheerful and good?
The problem is life won’t ever give those things alone. There’s no light without darkness.
I welcome this
beautiful Monday morning with its sun and the clouds.
I take
Nietzsche along with me as I walk into the cloudy morning. He said, “I am a forest, and a night of dark
trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses
under my cypresses.”
Beautiful post sir !
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that from a dancer. :)
DeleteSuper and good comparison

DeleteI can relate to this feeling - the desire to be cheerful in the presence of pain.... It's like the more pain I experience the more I feel how happiness 'felt' ....
ReplyDeleteThere's immense pain that sustains the best smiles!
DeleteSuch a beautiful post, Sir! I so agree with the line that "There’s no light without darkness". Sometimes in life we all take certain decisions when we know the outcome would be sad but we still take them for our happiness!
ReplyDeleteYes, Saumy, as Shelley said our sweetest songs tell of our saddest thoughts.
Deleteso true , it take sadness to know what happiness is . fading away those morning blues
ReplyDeleteDarkness is the inevitable counterpart of light.
