Sometimes, the clouds match my internal landscape, that tension between hope and fear, the duel between faith and doubt.

And, like the sky, sometimes my tension leans toward the darkness. The fear, the doubt, settles around me.

Still.

I know the sun still shines.

Even if only behind the clouds where I cannot see it right now, the sun still shines. It reflects not only off the clouds, but within them.

Like me. Fear and doubt may settle around me, but faith and hope shine from within me.
