By Faydra Rector Sometimes the sun sets on things that mat- ter. Sometimes the end of what was, what was hoped for and what we wanted comes. Some - times the sun sets on the things that made us happy at one time. In the darkness we can no longer see what mattered to us so very much at one time. In the dark, it gets colder, more lonely and more con - fusing. Without the sun, we lose our way because the moon is only a sliver and casts very little light in the moment of our pain. Sometimes the sun has set and seems to be gone for eternity. In this dark - ness we sleep. That's what we are trained to do. Sleep in the dark- ness and await to arise at dawn, but what hap- pens when dawn doesn't seem to come? If we have a fighting nature, we may play with the darkness, try to befriend it. We may tell ourselves we like the dark. After all the dark hides the best of secrets. It keeps us safe to an ex - tent because no one can see our eyes dart around, looking at things as our eyes adjust. Sometimes we get lonely after the sun has set. In the darkness, with - out someone to share it, we feel alone. If we have a solitary nature, this may or may not be a problem, until it is. Until the sun has been set for so long that we forget that we like to be alone, because we are now lonely. There is a difference between being alone and lonely and we know both of them well. But, the sun also rises. Just when we least ex - pect it, the sun in it's warmth and glory makes itself known. A twilight appears out of the dark - ness. I slight shift in the sky causing a stir where the loneliness was. As the colors mix with the dark - ness, life begins to appear more beautiful again. There is depth in the things we see and as the sun peeks over the moun - tain tops of our quiet mind, we feel something warm and happy where there was only just us, alone in our quiet minds. The sun rises and with it comes hope. The world may not change in an in - stant, you may still be troubled, confused and steeping in pain, but the sun is rising. The higher it gets, the brighter it shines the more clearly it reveals the paths that take you from where you were to where you are supposed to be. It is up to you to see the path and walk it, to - wards the sun. It is possible, in the stillness of the dark, to lay in perpetuity in our sad - ness, but the sun com- mands us to wake. The sun rises and says come out and play. Come out and seize all that you can see and enjoy life again. The sun shines and in it's image, we do to. Has the sun been set in your life? Does it feel like nuclear winter has come to stay? Are you buried under the ash and soot that rained down for the mushroom cloud of your life? The sun rises, my loves. It rises. It rises and with it comes a brand new day. Faydra Rector, MA is a men - tal health administrator, author, public speaker, ed- ucator and life coach who lives in Red Bluff.
