The sun is rising on another day. It looks beautiful outside. My grandma (my mom's mom), used to say "sunny everyday" in her best broken English. On rainy days, I used to tell her, "raining today grandma, we gotta stay inside." To which she replied, "no, sunny everyday." I used to think she was just old and kind of senile, but later on in my life, when I understood the spiritual meaning of her words, it all made sense to me.
She was trying to tell me that above the clouds, the sun is always shining, so no matter what we might see just above us, its always a beautiful day if we can get past the clouds (or whatever weather we see). That's been a valuable lesson for me because there were large parts of my life where I let the "clouds" in my life distort my reality. I used to let the clouds determine how I was going to feel because I didn't "believe" in the sun unless I could see it and feel it. My grandma gave me the first step of my spiritual evolution, to believe in things not seen, to have faith in nature (like the sun) and to understand that our perception is really our reality.
I miss my grandma, but I remember her at the beginning of every day, whether or not I can see the sun rise.
