Istiqlál (Independence), 13 Mulk (Dominion), 166 BE – Friday, February 19, 2010 about 6:41 AM Pacific Time
We humans could take lessons from the birds. This morning when I went out after the Las Vegas Review-Journal, I heard a bird singing. I'm not sure what type of bird it was because we have sever different species of song birds in my neighborhood. The bird I heard wasn't close by so it must have a nest on another street, but he was singing joyously.
There are clouds covering the blue sky this morning, but the bird was singing anyway. Despite the clouds the bird was singing. The sun momentarily shone from behind some clouds and the bird continued to sing. Even when the sun went behind clouds, the bird continued singing.
The bird didn't care if the sun shone or the sky was cloudy because he was happy and going to sing. So often we humans look at the problems surrounding us or at a cloudy sky and decide we don't have a reason to be happy, which isn't true. A person can always find a reason for happiness. All we have to do is look at the world around us and we, like that bird, will find a reason to sing.
