The Sun Is Gone, But I Have A Light

With about forty five minutes to spare before I had to pick up my son, I dropped by Taman Selera to have an ais kacang and to just relax. Sitting at the food bazaar, I had a great view of the sea and beach. The sky was overcast with dark clouds. I guess the dark clouds matched the sombre mood most Malaysians are feeling right now with all the political dramas. the rapidly weakening ringgit and the bearish stock market.

As I sat gazing at the clouds in the distant horizons, I saw a lot of clouds with silver linings. It did lift up my mood a bit. But I thought that I won’t be seeing any dramatic sunset due to the all those clouds.

After picking up my son, we started on our way home. I was concentrating on my driving so I did not notice the beautiful scene that was unfolding in the far horizons. It was my son who alerted me about it.

I quickly parked near the roadside near Lutong Beach and rushed to the beach with my camera. Strong rays of sunlight were emanating from behind the clouds and casting a wide curtain of light on to the sea. It was a sight to behold. I always feel inspired when I witness such beauty of nature. It is as if God is drawing my attention towards Him.

Lovely!

A sight to behold!

I drove on home, feeling positively charged and hoping that Malaysia’s dark days will end soon.

And the following quotation by William R. Alger immediately comes to my mind: After every storm the sun will smile; for every problem there is a solution, and the soul’s indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer.
