While nature is the canvas of God, I am a part of it. Part of this great canvas, I become the canvas…an intricate part of all there is.

Contemplating my own ups and downs, coming to a realization that light always shines regardless of the day. Just as the sun rises in the east only to shine forth on the day, I too shall shine. While the sun is and always will be, our life isn’t always…assuredly it still exists.

Allowing the clouds to cover my Light, I rest only to shine another day. This is a cycle we all go through. We have our ups and downs; we have our highs and lows. Accepting the lows, embracing the highs and vice versa, we learn and grow from every moment…we need only focus on the Light of the day.

Take note of the canvas around us today, what does it have to teach? Everything within this world has a lesson to teach us. Opening our eyes not of flesh but of our heart, we are left to see the beautiful lessons the sun brings forth from the east. With the birds singing, the animals playing, we are off to our destination…wherever we must go.

This morning I called on my brother Sun to show me the way, to give the answers…and this is what he has given to me.

So whatever the days may bring, it is our intention to remain focused on the source of Light. In doing so, we shall never again fall to darkness. Letting go of troubles, leaving our misery, we find brighter days filled with Sunshine…even within the clouds.

Stepping into the Canvas as One: One person, one community, one canvas…we are. No matter the clouds filling our days, the Sun remains for all to see. No matter the misery, we remain in happiness. With risk of being thought crazy, we laugh yet again, accepting ourselves for who we are…declaring…I Am the Canvas.
