Saving Daylight

Tonight is daylight savings time change. We lose an hour of darkness to gain an hour of light. Not feeling in good health, I am glad to lose this extra hour of night and gain more daylight. Daylight brings health and wellness while night just brings loss.

Tonight we watched a movie recorded from the ‘Sundance’ channel call “Man Push Cart.” There was really no story to the movie just a series of events in the life of a Pakistani pushcart vendor in New York City. My wife and I joked that the movie had no beginning, middle or end, just some happenings that left you hanging at the end. Some may call it existential or just plain hopeless. Some may say this is the way life is, just a series of random events that leave us nowhere.

I rather take the daylight savings view that for every loss, like the hour, tonight, there is a gain, like in more sunlight tomorrow. Yes, life may seem to have no meaning and not much hope but there is always something to look forward to in every setback or loss, even though it is only an hour of daylight.

With all the rains we are receiving today the ground should be soaked and ready for spring. When suffering a loss, it is time to move on. For what may seem a loss, a rainy day inside, may really be a gain.

Unlike the “Man Push Cart” in the movie there is hope that with more daylight we can move on.
