When the Sky Hides the Sun
There are days the sky looks empty. Like it’s hiding something. Like it knows how bright the sun can shine, but chooses not to show it. Days like this remind me of life’s quiet seasons when growth happens beneath the surface.
I looked up and saw a papaya tree standing still under a cloud-covered sky. No sunlight, no breeze. Just stillness. And yet, it stood tall rooted, waiting, unshaken. It didn’t bend in fear of the storm or beg the sky to clear. It simply existed, knowing that even the darkest sky eventually breaks open.
Sometimes, we find ourselves in similar moments. Days where it feels like light has disappeared, where the plans we made seem to fade into the shadows of delay and uncertainty. But just like the tree, we are still growing. Our roots are going deeper. Our strength is building quietly.
Don’t curse the cloudy days. They are reminders that you are not defined by how bright the moment looks but by how deep you’re willing to grow when no one’s clapping.
