What controls sunrise? Who holds our future? 誰主宰日出？誰主宰人生？

This series of photos recorded the sun being shaded by the clouds and reappeared after the clouds dispersed. It's not the sun that can control the scenery at sunrise, but the clouds.

Then who is in charge of our lives? It’s not ourselves. Some people are bound by their work or having to take care of their family members for most of their lives. May there be a bright period in their lives.

雲日爭鋒的連續劇，今早如何上演？

07:22 重重圍困
Clouds surrounded the sunshine 

太陽彷如被吞噬，只有等待時機再現光華。

誰主日出？原來是風與雲！

太陽依照軌跡爬升，完全被動，因風推雲湧，太陽便無光。

這令我聯想起一些人被家庭責任所困，

唯有告別職場，沒有機會繼續發揮所長。

大自然的境況，常常可以用來比喻人生：

07:23 乍現光華
Sunshine started to show up

07:24 風雲再起，黯然失色
winds blew the clouds and the sun was blocked

07:26 等待時機
the sun waited for the opportunity to show up again 

07:27 再展光華
the sun showed up again when clouds dispersed 

以上烏雲蓋日的景象，與上星期壯觀瑰麗日出相比，

其實景色絶不美！因光暗的效果、顏色與氣氛令人不安，

但我隨即記起以下一首三十四年前認識的詩歌，甚得安慰：

[我知誰掌管前途 ]

我知誰掌管前途，

我知祂握著我手；
在神萬事非偶然，

都是祂計劃萬有。
故我面臨的遭遇，

不論大小的難處，
我信靠行奇事的神，

一切交託主。

[ I Know Who Holds the Future ]

I know who holds the future , 

And I know he holds my hand;
With God things don't just happen 

ev'rything by Him is planned.
So as I face tomorrow 

with its problems large and small,
I'll trust the God of miracles, 

Give to Him my all!

後記：

其實今早這五幅照片，雲層原本很厚，本來期待瑰麗日出已無望，但見突然風將雲層撥開，我得以與日相見，但僅五分鐘，毫不瑰麗的日出便落幕，雲再合攏。

有些人大半生為照顧家人而活，只是無奈，如被烏雲所困。

但願各人生命中也有光彩時刻，回顧過去，展望將來。
