The Beloved Blue Sky
Yesterday, my phone was off, so I didn’t hear the alarm ringing as usual. Because of that, I woke up late — around 11 o’clock. Yes, I admit, that’s way too late. I slept like a koala. Maybe it was the consequence of my bad habit: staying up late to study. I feel like the night has a calming vibe that (almost) always helps me concentrate on my tasks.
The night before, I had really wanted to see the clear sky — not the blindingly bright one at noon, but the soft, shady sky of early morning. I wished to witness the transition from the deep purple of dawn to the beloved blue sky. Sadly, I missed the moment. While the sky was showing off her beauty, I was lost in my dreams. I regretted it as soon as I woke up. It changed my mood for the rest of the day.
Randomly, I started feeling drowsy around 3 o’clock in the afternoon. I know it’s bad to sleep in the evening, but I just couldn’t fight it — my eyelids felt so heavy, pulling me into a deep and peaceful sleep. Yes, I was completely knocked out by my own exhaustion. Lately, this has been happening more often. I get sleepy so easily and fall asleep within minutes. Something doesn’t feel right, but what is it?
Unexpectedly, when I woke up around 6:30 P.M., I saw the shady, beloved blue sky I had wished for right outside my window. I blinked a few times, making sure I wasn’t dreaming. I even pinched myself. Ouch! It hurt. Yes, it was real — not a hallucination. Initially, I had only planned to go to the bathroom, but I stopped in my tracks, mesmerized by the breathtaking sky.
It was incredible! God is good — I wholeheartedly agree with that statement. Again and again, simple moments like these never fail to amaze me. It felt like a small miracle. How was the sky still that blue at this hour? Not long after, it naturally darkened, as it should. But you know what impressed me even more? The clouds remained bright white — clear and pure, not the usual dark gray.
Nature’s wonders are truly amazing!
