Since 1998 I've been sending out these reflections first thing each
week--one or more quotes plus my thoughts about the intersections and
contradictions. They're archived here back to 2002, and a new one is
posted every Monday morning. Dialogue is still welcome . . .

Quote #1237 - #FindingSunshine
11 May, 2026
FINDING SUNSHINE
"A dove struggling in a storm grows stronger than an eagle soaring in sunshine."
Matshona Dhliwayo
"For a dark street, sunshine is most welcome; for a wounded sole, love ..."
Mehmet Murat Ildan
"And we will meet in the woods far far away ... and share love and sunshine."
Avijeet Das
Sometimes the sun comes to you,
easily, peacefully,
in all its golden splendor.
Sometimes it fills the sky
so strong and hot and persistent you seek
shade, running from the strength of its light
and heat.
But sometimes--
sometimes some dark cloud-filled days
sometimes some torrential stormy days
sometimes some harsh, bitter days--
you have to find your sunshine.
And sometimes it's all you can do
to find just a sliver.
Sometimes it takes all day
and all the strength you have
to find just one
streak of sunshine
to warm your face and your hands,
and remind your face, your body,
your heart
that these harsh, dark days will pass,
and there will be sun again.
How do you find your sunshine
when it's making itself so hard to find?
Is your light incandescent, flourescent,
or diodes?
Do you use flashlights or candles
or an app on your phone?
And then there is warmth from
teas, coffees, cocoas,
music that fills the world with light and joy,
love ...
How do you make light and warmth
when there is none?
How do you find sunshine?
