Sun and Moon

Let's have a word from THE RISING SUN: I rose this morning and spoke hope to the solar system, reassuring everyone concerned of a stabilizing experience; and advising citizens all, in my sphere of influence, to take one day at a time. Moreover, allow me to simply say that I will dutifully fulfill my daily assignment and take my leave. I learned from my humble beginning that I cannot control the clouds nor dictate to the winds that are also on assignment. Come what may, we only have a say in what our assignment is today. I must go now, lest I overstay and take away precious time from the setting sun. Now a word from THE SETTING SUN: It's been a long day. Some clouds came and threw shadows in the pathway. My rays knew that the winds would come along and push the clouds along. So, they kept their steady glow even though not everyone saw them glowing. I'm learning to be gentler and not force my fiery ways. I try not to stress and look forward to the end of my day when I will take my rest. I also realize that none of us are perfect, because the entire universe has been ill-affected by the sins of Adam and Eve. But I anticipate the day when we all shall be perfected. Finally, a word from THE MOON: I'm ok with being the last on this program of Space and Time. I don't feel any less than Sunrise or Sunset; honestly, I don't. I am just one of many brights of the night to help keep the light. Moreover, the world is infatuated with my variant and beautiful shapes. I am surrounded by many stars of wonder with such stunning sights. I must admit that one is hard-pressed to find anything more glorious than Sunrise or Sunset. Nevertheless, I have always been taught to believe and realize that my purpose in the night sky is just as meaningful as Sun, clouds, winds, and every speck of particle in God's vast domain and awesome universe.
