In Pursuit of the Sun and my Promise of Happiness

I was on my usual morning walk and could see the mild orange rays emerging out of the clouds in the distant horizons of the sky!

The Sun must have opened his eyes and must have been trying to get up from his pure white velvety bed of clouds by now: I know how tough it is to get up in the early mornings; despite my love for the morning glory, the birds, the breeze, the plants and of the trees…it is very tough to get up in the early mornings!

I had gone through the deep down struggle against the “five more minutes” request from my heart a plenty of time and the will power I needed to gear up against such a fine temptation of falling asleep again! Oh yes, I know!

I had felt bad for the Sun and for his probable struggle against himself in getting up and walking away from the smooth bed sheets and the soft pillows! Somehow he must have gotten up and must have walked away from his bed by now! The dull and the oily orange rays have become a little stronger now, not much, but definitely a little stronger now than before!

I had continued to scroll along my path, while my eyes were still fixed at the rays around the Sun! The Sun is not yet visible of course, but may become visible at any moment now!

I had walked further on, wondering as to what shall be the routine of the Sun's mornings? Will he be checking on the heat and the cold of the deserts and of the poles? Will he be saying hello to the distant planets of which we may not even have a clue till now?

Will the Sun be smiling at the oceans, while sharing a joke with the clouds? Will he rather be taking a walk on the side streets of the sky?

Who all will he be meeting while on his walk? Will he be meeting the lesser Gods to him? Will he be meeting the Greater Gods than him?

Has he ever noticed my lonely self walking down the winding roads, while my eyes had always been fixed at the sky for his appearance? Does he have any idea as to the extent of my love for the Sunlight and that of the summers?

While I was thinking in those terms, the Sun had emerged out of the clouds, not much, but just a part of his forehead…shinning, smooth and colorful…I had stopped in my track and had looked at him!

My eyes had closed in prayers for a few minutes and I had thanked the Sun, the only visible God for me, for giving me yet another day of life and living!

As usual, I had promised him that I shall choose to be happy, come whatever may, today! The life is so precious that I wouldn't waste a moment in self-pity, unhappiness, depression and anxieties in handling the people and the circumstances!

I had smiled at the Sun and had smiled to myself. I had walked a bit further on and by the time, the Sun had emerged completely out of his habitat and had started scrolling along the sky, I returned back to my home, my heart getting fully soaked in the nectar of happiness, positivism, possibilities and the brand new opportunities of a brand new day!
