Until the End of the Day

Not once or twice, the days we live through feel exhausting. Lucky if it's only exhausting—sometimes there are even days that feel bewildering, in the sense that you don't know what to do with the work at hand.

That discomfort has nested within for quite some time. The longer it stays, the more uncomfortable it becomes. It feels as if nothing is right on this earth.

But those confusing things sometimes lead to the opposite. Usually, as night approaches, when the sky begins to darken, that is precisely where the point of peace emerges.

Suddenly, circumstances change. Peace envelops. On its own, words of wisdom appear in the mind. The problems at hand make peace with themselves.

It feels calming.

Like a rainbow, that comes after a long rain.
