All too often we are absorbed by the miserable work of survival, and we see and think of nothing but the task at hand, whatever it may be. It is easy to forget that there are still some vestiges of the primeval Eden, and they can serve as solace in this thankless struggle we all must engage in.

Sometimes, we can even forget that there is a sunrise every morning, and a springtime every year. The cycles of life, the tides, the wind and the stars are there for all men, mighty or meek, rich or poor.

It is far too easy to ignore this in the contrived world we have built for ourselves, so it is necessary, from time to time, to remind ourselves of our true place in the midst of this ancient creation that sustains us. So when it seems that all our work is for nothing, or that our happier days are long gone, it is helpful to stop, look, and remember that those great things that define our world remain, and the same sun that first shone on our infant eyes will rise again.
